Juventus Secures Davide Marchisio with First Professional Contract

Juventus have moved to secure one of the most talked‑about talents in their academy, handing Davide Marchisio his first professional contract, a deal that runs until 2028.

Born on August 31, 2009, the young midfielder has climbed steadily through the Bianconeri youth system, earning his promotion not through nostalgia for a famous surname, but through a reputation for relentless work. Inside the club, this contract is viewed as a reward for graft in Turin, not a gift to the son of Claudio Marchisio.

For Davide, a lifelong Juventus supporter, the moment carried heavy emotion. This is the club he grew up dreaming about, the shirt he has always wanted to wear. Signing on the line felt less like a formality and more like a childhood promise finally kept.

He let that feeling spill out on social media once the deal was done. “Proud to have signed my first professional contract with the team I've dreamt of and loved since I was a child. I will continue to work with great ambition and a desire to improve, giving my all for these colours. Fino alla fine,” he wrote – a message that echoed the club’s own motto and underlined his intent.

Guided by Claudio, but not defined by him

The Marchisio name carries weight in Turin, yet inside the academy there is a clear effort to keep Davide’s path clean of suffocating comparisons. Claudio’s role has been that of a careful guardian, offering measured guidance rather than pushing his son into the spotlight too soon.

On the pitch, Davide has done the talking himself. Before becoming a fixture with the Under-18s, he logged 23 appearances and scored three goals at Under-17 level. One of those strikes stood out: a goal in the Derby della Mole, the kind of occasion that tests temperament as much as talent.

The club have also begun to stretch his horizons. Late last season, Luciano Spalletti invited the teenager into first-team training sessions at Continassa, a valuable first taste of senior intensity and standards. It was a glimpse of the level he will ultimately be judged against.

A key role for the Under-18s and a clear pathway

This season, Davide is expected to be central to the Under-18 project. He has already etched his name into their short history by scoring the newly formed side’s first ever goal, a small but symbolic marker of his growing importance.

Now comes the hard part: sustaining it. Juventus want to see consistent performances across a demanding domestic campaign, the kind of week‑to‑week reliability that can speed up his route towards Juventus Next Gen and, eventually, the senior squad.

Coaches and first-team staff will track his physical and technical development closely through the autumn, ready to adjust his workload and responsibilities as he grows. The club have made their move with this contract.

The next moves will be his.
