Juventus Signs Rising Star Davide Marchisio to Professional Contract
Juventus have handed Davide Marchisio his first professional contract, tying the 15-year-old midfielder to the club until 2028 and formally ushering one of their most talked‑about academy talents into the professional ranks.
Born on 31 August 2009, Davide has climbed steadily through the Bianconeri youth system, his progress driven less by the weight of his family name and more by the grind of daily work in Turin. Inside the club, this deal is seen as a reward for what he has already shown, not a gift for being Claudio Marchisio’s son.
For Davide, a lifelong Juventus supporter, the signature carried a heavy emotional charge. This is the club he grew up loving, the shirt he always wanted. Now it is his job.
He made that clear in a message shared on social media after the agreement was made official: “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, Claudio Marchisio has walked a careful line. He has guided his son’s development but kept him insulated from the most suffocating comparisons. The numbers tell their own story. Before becoming a fixture with the Under-18s, Davide racked up 23 appearances and three goals for the Under-17s, including a standout strike in the Derby della Mole that turned heads inside the academy.
The club have already tested his readiness for the next step. Late last season, Luciano Spalletti invited the teenager into first-team training sessions at Continassa, a crucial taste of senior intensity and standards.
This year, Davide’s role with the Under-18s is set to grow. He has already written a small piece of history, scoring the newly formed side’s first ever goal earlier in the campaign. From here, the challenge shifts: not a single moment, but a season. Consistency across a demanding domestic schedule will be the key that unlocks the pathway towards Juventus Next Gen.
Club staff will track every detail through the autumn – his physical growth, his ability to handle the tempo, his technical evolution under pressure. The plan is clear: smooth his transition towards senior football, step by step, and see whether the boy who grew up dreaming of Juventus can carve out his own Marchisio story in black and white.
