After eight seasons with the Juventus Women's First Team, Cristiana Girelli will be wearing a different shirt in the coming months.

The Bianconere number 10 has extended her contract with our club until June 30, 2027, and at the same time, she will be loaned to Bay FC – a Californian team that plays in the National Women's Soccer League – until August 2026.

This is a double announcement for one of the symbols of the Bianconere team, who in recent weeks has achieved a historic double milestone, becoming the player with the most appearances in the history of Juventus Women and, in the same match against Sassuolo, surpassing the 150-goal mark while wearing our shirt.

The numbers and records reflect the journey we have taken together, a journey that began in the summer of 2018 when she arrived at Juve and wore the number 10 shirt for the first time. It was a shirt that had been left without an owner the year before, as if it were waiting for her. A number and a story written in destiny.

Cristiana is a footballer who has made a name for herself thanks to her commitment in every single training session, her dedication and her performances on the pitch – becoming an icon of our club with her goals and exploits.

She is a champion who has represented Juventus both on and off the pitch in recent years, winning five league titles, four Italian Cup trophies, five Italian Super Cups and one Serie A Women's Cup.

The words of Women’s Football Director, Stefano Braghin:

"Cristiana is a player who has contributed to the history of the Women's project at our club, much more than her statistics suggest, even though they place her at the top in terms of appearances and goals scored. She has been an example for the younger players, a guide for the new arrivals, a guarantee for the coaches who have passed through here, but above all, she has preserved and nurtured the spirit of Juventus as a value to be passed on and a mentality to be lived every day when wearing this shirt. A set of non-negotiable values that make belonging to this club something unique. It was only right to give her such a special experience, both personally and professionally, and it will be wonderful to welcome her back one day to the fire she has helped to keep alive. I bid her farewell until the next trophy we lift together."

Now a new adventure abroad awaits Girelli, the first experience of her career outside Italy: good luck, Cristiana!
