Chiellini, who will turn 37 next month, is no more under a contract with Juventus after the conclusion of the 2020/2021 season.
Fresh from captaining Italy to glory in the just ended Euro 2020, the former Livorno and Fiorentina man is waiting on Juventus to offer him a new deal.
Chiellini’s agent was asked about the current situation of his client and he said: “It takes two to sign a contract.”
“Giorgio went to the Euros and focused exclusively on that. There’s no problem with Juventus, we said we’d meet up later in the summer, but we haven’t yet sat down to discuss a renewal.”
He was further asked if they have received offers from other clubs in Europe.
He added: “They’d have to make the offer first. As of today, there is nobody. We are waiting for Juventus to tell us when we can sit down and have a chat.”
Chiellini is not thinking about retirement, especially with the 2022 World Cup coming up.
“Thinking of Chiellini away from the playing field at this moment is madness. What he did after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament is incredible. What fuels him is passion and we saw in the Euros that the passion is still strong,” Lippi continued.
“He was a symbol of Juventus for many years and we are waiting for a club. Nobody has called, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, as he’s the only free agent in the Italy squad now.”
Chiellini is considered as one of the best defenders in this generation and a symbol of Italy’s spirit.
He has played 535 matches for Juventus, scoring 36 goals and providing 24 assists in the process.
