Juventus Signs Davide Marchisio to Professional Contract Through 2028

Juventus have moved to secure one of the most talked‑about talents in their academy, handing Davide Marchisio his first professional contract, running through to 2028.

Born on 31 August 2009, the midfielder has climbed steadily through the Bianconeri ranks, building a reputation not on nostalgia, but on graft. Inside the club, the deal is seen as a reward for years of work on the training pitches around Turin, not a courtesy extended to the son of Claudio Marchisio.

For Davide, a lifelong Juventus supporter, the signature carried real emotional weight. This is the club he grew up watching, the shirt he dreamed of wearing. Now it is legally, as well as emotionally, his.

He made that clear in a message shared on social media after the contract became official, writing that he was “proud to have signed my first professional contract with the team I've dreamt of and loved since I was a child.” He promised to keep working “with great ambition and a desire to improve, giving my all for these colours. Fino alla fine.”

Those who work with him at the academy talk about a player shaped as much at home as at Vinovo. Claudio Marchisio has stayed close, guiding his son’s development but keeping the spotlight at bay, intent on protecting him from the weight of comparison with his own Juventus legacy.

On the pitch, Davide has justified the attention. Before stepping up as a regular with the Under-18s, he logged 23 appearances and three goals at Under-17 level, including a standout strike in the Derby della Mole that underlined both his temperament and his technique in the city’s fiercest youth fixture.

The club’s faith deepened late last season when Luciano Spalletti invited the teenager into first-team training sessions at Continassa. Those days with the senior squad offered an early taste of elite standards: higher tempo, sharper duels, less margin for error.

This season, he has already carved his name into a small piece of Juventus history, scoring the newly formed Under-18 side’s first-ever goal. It was more than a statistic. It signalled the role the club expects him to play in that team – central, reliable, influential.

Now comes the demanding part. Juventus want to see him deliver week after week across a long, physical domestic campaign. That consistency will dictate how quickly he can push towards Juventus Next Gen and, beyond that, the senior side.

First-team staff will track his progress closely through the autumn, measuring not just his technical growth but how his body adapts to the increasing intensity. The plan is clear: manage the steps carefully, then ease the transition when he is ready.

The surname will always draw attention. The contract, the goals, the minutes earned in black and white – those will decide how far Davide Marchisio can take his own story.
