Juventus extended Nicol\u00f2 Fagioli\u2019s contract until the end of June 2028 on Tuesday, less than a month after the young midfielder was banned for seven months by the Italian soccer federation for betting violations.<\/p>\n

Juventus had expressed its support to Fagioli, who admitted to a gambling addiction, immediately after his ban and continued its show of faith by renewing his contract, which was set to expire in 2026.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Fagioli is considered one of Italy\u2019s top young midfielders and has spent almost his entire career at Juventus \u2014 apart from a season-long loan at Cremonese \u2014 after joining the Bianconeri\u2019s youth setup in 2015.<\/p>\n

Fagioli agreed to a plea bargain with the federation last month that also stipulates he undergo therapy for a gambling addiction.<\/p>\n

Fagioli, who had already been seeing a therapist for his problem, alerted the Italian soccer federation\u2019s prosecutor about the case and cooperated with authorities to mitigate his punishment.<\/p>\n

That allowed the minimum ban of three years for players betting on soccer matches to be greatly reduced.<\/p>\n

Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, who used to play for AC Milan, was handed a 10-month ban in the same far-reaching case, with prosecutors in Turin also carrying out a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n
