Juventus Signs Davide Marchisio to Pro Deal Until 2028

Juventus have handed Davide Marchisio his first professional deal, tying the 15-year-old midfielder to the club until 2028 and formally ushering one of their most intriguing academy prospects into the professional ranks.

Born on August 31, 2009, Davide has climbed steadily through the Bianconeri youth system, building a reputation not on nostalgia for his father's glory days, but on a relentless work ethic and a calm, mature presence in midfield. Inside the club, the message has been clear: this is no sentimental gesture. He has earned it.

For Davide, a lifelong Juventus supporter, signing that contract in Turin carried obvious emotional weight. This is the club he grew up dreaming about, the shirt he has always wanted to defend. Now it is no longer a dream, but a responsibility.

He made that clear in a post on social media after the deal was confirmed, writing: "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."

Behind the scenes, his development has been carefully managed. Claudio Marchisio has stayed close, but not suffocating, offering guidance while shielding his son from the inevitable comparisons that come with the name. The focus has remained on Davide's own path, his own numbers, his own games.

Those games have come thick and fast in the academy. Before cementing his place with the Under-18s, Davide made 23 appearances and scored three goals for the Under-17s. One of those strikes stood out: a goal in the Derby della Mole, the kind of fixture that tests temperament as much as talent.

His rise has not gone unnoticed higher up the chain. Late last season, Luciano Spalletti brought the teenager into first-team training at Continassa, a key taste of senior intensity and a clear signal of how highly the club rate his potential.

This season, Davide has already left a mark on the newly formed Under-18 side, scoring their historic first goal of the campaign. Juventus expect him to be a central figure at that level, not just a promising name on a teamsheet.

Now comes the hard part. Surviving a long, demanding domestic season, delivering consistently, and proving he can handle the physical and tactical jumps required to move towards Juventus Next Gen. Club staff will track every step, closely monitoring how his body develops and how his technique adapts to faster, tougher football across the autumn months.

The contract is signed. The surname is known. What happens next will depend on the only thing that has really mattered so far in Davide Marchisio’s story: what he does on the pitch.
