Juventus have announced Stephan Lichsteiner has agreed a new two-year deal with the club with the option of an additional third year.
The right-back's contract was set to expire in the summer and there were reports a number of teams across Europe were ready to make a move for his services.
But Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri has moved swiftly to ward off any interest by tying him down to a new deal that will see him remain in Turin until at least the summer of 2017.
A statement on the club's official website read: "The player has signed a new agreement for two more years, with an option in favour of the club for the third. The journey of the Swiss Express continues alongside Juve!"
Lichtsteiner joined the Serie A giants from Lazio in 2011, and has since made 134 appearances for the club.
The Switzerland international has won three successive Scudetti in that time, all under Antonio Conte, and is on course for a fourth with Juve leading the table under the guidance of Allegri.
