2029 and 2030, and Turin still wants to talk
Neither contract expires any time soon. That has not stopped Juventus from putting both on the desk. Foot Mercato reports the Turin club have made Pierre Kalulu and Francisco Conceicao their two priority renewals, with nothing signed and nothing announced.
Kalulu is under contract until 2029. Conceicao until June 2030. The logic is simple enough: get in front of it before agents and rival clubs start circling and turn a quiet situation into a noisy one.

What the two of them actually gave last season
Twenty-eight Serie A appearances for Kalulu, one goal, one assist. The France-born defender has settled into the back line as something close to a fixture. Conceicao played 26 times, scored four and set up five. Pace down the right, a bit of chaos, the thing Juventus have often lacked out wide.
Kalulu had suitors last summer. Premier League clubs made enquiries and Paris Saint-Germain asked about his situation, per the same source. He stayed. The former Milan defender never seriously pushed to leave.
Buy, then keep
Juventus spent in the summer. Luciano Spalletti and the board brought in Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade, then gambled on younger profiles: Jeff Ekhator, Kerim Alajbegovic, Pape Matar Sarr.
The job description has changed since. Holding onto the pieces that already work is now the priority, and two names sit at the top of that list for the months ahead.
