Marco Olivieri (born 30 June 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Juventus.

Club career

Olivieri is a product of Empoli's youth setup, playing for their under-19 squad in the 2015–16 season.[2] He made his first bench appearance for Empoli's senior squad on 5 August 2017, in a 2017–18 Coppa Italia game against Renate.[3] On 26 August 2017, Olivieri joined Juventus on loan.[4] He played for their under-19 squad in the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League.

The forward made his Serie C debut for Juventus U23 on 30 September 2018, in a game against Novara as an 83rd-minute substitute for Matheus Pereira.[5] At the end of the season, Juventus redeemed the €1 million buying option they had secured when they loaned him.[6]

He made his Serie A and senior club debut for Juventus on 30 June 2020, coming on as a late second-half substitute for Paulo Dybala in a 3–1 away win over Genoa.[7] [8] He made his Champions League debut on 7 August, coming on as a substitute for the injured Paulo Dybala in a 2–1 home win over Lyon in the second leg of the round of 16 of the competition; the result saw Juventus eliminated from the competition on away goals, following a 2–2 draw on aggregate.[9] [10]

On 9 September 2020 he returned to Empoli in Serie B on loan.[11]

On 22 June 2021, he joined Lecce on loan.[12]

On 29 January 2022, he moved on a one-and-a-half year loan to Perugia, with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[13]

On 18 August 2023, Olivieri moved on a new loan to Venezia, with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[14]

International career

Olivieri was first called up to represent his country in 2014, for Italy national under-16 football team friendlies.[15] He represented the under-17 squad at the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, scoring one goal, as Italy did not advance from the group stage.[16] Olivieri then represented the under-18,[17] under-19,[18] and under-20 squads,[19] all in friendlies.

Style of play

A former centre-forward, tactically, Olivieri usually plays as a left winger, a position which allows him to cut inside and shoot on goal with his stronger right foot. He is known for his eye for goal, and also possesses a good physique, despite his relatively modest height of 1.77 m.[8] [20]
