Patrice Evra signs new Juventus deal

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has signed a new one-year contract with Juventus, with the option for a further year. 

Evra, who joined Juventus in 2014, will be contracted to the Serie A champions until at least the end of the 2016-17 campaign. 

The defender has claimed back-to-back domestic doubles in Italy since bringing an eight-year spell at Old Trafford to an end. 

A statement released by the club reads: 

"Patrice Evra has today renewed his Juventus contract for an additional year - with an option for a second - keeping him at the Turin club until at least June 30, 2017,"
