Juventus president Andrea Agnelli spoke after the official announcement of Marchisio’s renewal, praising the midfielder’s longevity and loyalty to the club.

Marchisio signed a long-term deal that will see him remain at the club until 2020, after first joining the the Bianconeri first team in 2006. The Italian would however have to wait until the 2008-09 campaign, when he finally broke through following a two-year loan stint with Empoli.

Agnelli spoke at a press conference when the announcement of Marchiso’s contract was made, commending the 29-year-old’s great service to the club.

“The whole day is dedicated to Marchisio,” Agnelli told the press.

“He has spent so many years with the club, going from the youth team to the first team and even wearing the captain’s armband.

“Marchisio is already a legend despite not even being 30 years old yet, and has already reached 300 caps.

“With this five-year renewal, he now becomes one of Juventus’ elder statesmen; it is both an honour and a responsibility.”
