Claudio Marchisio signs new Juventus contract

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has signed a new five-year contract with the Italian champions.

The 29-year-old has made over 300 appearances for the Bianconeri, after coming through the club's youth ranks.

He has helped them to win the Serie A title for the past four seasons and has also established himself as a key player for the Italian national side.

"It's a feeling that sits alongside my first training session in 1993," he told the club's official website.

"I'm delighted to wear the shirt I've always wanted. Finding the motivation to keep giving even more is what matters most."

Marchisio scored three goals in 52 appearances for Juventus last season.
