Evra confirms Juve contract-extension

Patrice Evra has confirmed he will sign a two-year contract extension with Juventus, which will keep him at the club until at least 2018.

Since arriving from Old Trafford in 2014, the 35-year-old has established himself as a crucial player for the Italian side, and has helped guide them to successive Serie A and Coppa Italia titles.

"Yes, I gave my consent to the club, I'll stay for another two years," he said after the Coppa Italia final win over AC Milan, as quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

This season Evra has featured 35 times for the Turin side, scoring two goals in all competitions.
