He played 149 games in all competitions for the Turin-based club thus far and helped them win three Serie A titles along with three Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana trophies.
The Argentine was the part of the FIFA FIFPro World XI- second team in 2017 and was also included in the Serie A Team of the Season on three different occasions.
