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 running until 2028.

Born on August 31, 2009, the midfielder has climbed through the Bianconeri ranks on the back of a relentless work ethic and a steady, methodical rise. This contract is the first hard line on his CV: proof that his progress in Turin is being judged on performances, not on the surname on the back of his shirt.

For Davide, who has grown up with a deep attachment to the club, the signature carried real weight. This was not just paperwork. It was a childhood allegiance turning into a profession.

“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 by his father, Claudio Marchisio. The former Juventus midfielder has offered guidance without pushing his son into the shadow of comparison. The aim has been clear: let Davide build his own profile, at his own pace.

On the pitch, the numbers back up that approach. Before becoming a regular at Under-18 level, Davide made 23 appearances and scored three goals with the Under-17s, including a standout strike in the Derby della Mole that underlined his temperament on the biggest youth stage in the city.

The club have already tested him at the next level. Late last season, Luciano Spalletti brought the teenager into first‑team training sessions at Continassa, a crucial glimpse of senior intensity and standards for a player still in his mid-teens.

This year, his importance to the new Juventus Under-18 side has been obvious. Davide hit the historic first goal in the team’s existence earlier in the campaign, a symbolic moment for both player and project. Now comes the hard part: backing that up week after week across a demanding domestic schedule.

If he does, the pathway is clear. Consistency at Under-18 level is expected to fast‑track his route towards Juventus Next Gen, with club staff set to track his physical and technical growth closely through the autumn. Every training session, every game, will be another data point in the club’s long-term plan for him.

The name Marchisio already means something in Turin. Over the next few seasons, Juventus will find out how much it can mean again.
