Giorgio Chiellini close to new Juventus deal?

Juventus have reportedly moved closer to agreeing a new contract with defender Giorgio Chiellini.

The 33-year-old signed for Juventus in 2005 and the centre-back has since gone on to make 472 appearances for the Italian giants.

Chiellini's contract expires at the end of this month but according to Sky Sport Italia, the two parties are nearing an agreement over fresh terms.

The report suggests that the club legend will be given a two-year contract, taking the Italy international to six weeks shy of his 36th birthday.

Chiellini has recently replaced outgoing goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon as the club's new captain.
