Claudio Marchisio was born in Turin on the 19th January 1986. He is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Juventus. A product of the Juventus youth system, he has spent his whole career thus far at his hometown club, with the exception of a season-long loan spell at Empoli in the 2007/08 season. To date, he made 129 appearances, scoring 16 goals. Since he came back from Empoli, he made impressive games, becoming a regular player of the team. Marchisio was initially called up in early May to the U-21 team for the 2007 European Championships but eventually withdrew due to injury. He made his U-21 debut in June 2007, the group opening game of the 2009 European Championship qualifying. On the 12th August 2009 Marchisio made his senior debut, starting in the friendly against Switzerland that ended. Marchisio scored his first ever international goal in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Serbia on the 7th October 2011.
