Club career

Youth career

Costantino began his youth career with SPAL 1907, and remained with the central Italian club's junior squad until July 2009, when he was transferred to Serie A side U.C. Sampdoria's youth side. [1]

Juventus

Following the appointment of the new board and staff at Juventus at the conclusion of the 2009–10 season, Costantino was one of many new faces brought to Turin. He was signed for about €170,000 in five-year contract. [2] Ex-Sampdoria head coach Luigi Delneri and sports director Giuseppe Marotta were appointed as the same positions in Juve and played a role in bringing the youngster to Turin. He joined Juventus in order to strengthen the Primavera team but was immediately promoted to the senior squad as their no.1 Italian international Gianluigi Buffon was injured for several months. He was registered in Juventus's 24-men UEFA Europa League first team squad (list A) as the fourth keeper, behind Gianluigi Buffon, former Sampdoria teammate, Marco Storari and Austrian international, Alex Manninger. [3] Juventus also registered young Primavera player Marco Bonassi in B list in qualifying and playoffs phase, [4] but soon left the club on loan. Costantino played most of the games for the "Primavera Squadra". [5]

Loan Deals

In July 2011 Marco Costantino was loaned to Latina. He made his debut in 2011–12 Coppa Italia, [6] however he spent most of the time as the backup of Fernando Martinuzzi. In January 2012, he returned to Juventus and was loaned to former club, SPAL 1907, where he served as a back-up for Luca Capecchi. He again returned to Juventus on 30 June 2012, before being loaned out once more to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione outfit, VdA Saint-Christophe on 30 August 2012. With the fourth division squad, Costantino made 8 league appearances, serving much of the season as a back-up to Pierluigi Frattali.

Modena

On 20 June 2013, Costantino officially completed a permanent transfer to Serie B side for around €244,000 (residual contract value of €92,000 [7] plus profit €152,000 [8] ), Modena F.C. after a deal was reached with Juventus.

The 2017–18 season was Juventus Football Club's 120th in existence and 11th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. Due to sponsorship reasons, from 1 July 2017 until 30 June 2023, the Juventus Stadium was known as the Allianz Stadium of Turin. During the previous season, president Agnelli announced that a new Juventus logo would be introduced, revealing a video showing the introduction of the new logo. The logo shows the word Juventus on top, with two capital Js shown together in different fonts with a small opening between them to almost make a bigger J. Agnelli said that the logo reflects "the Juventus way of living". In this season, Juventus introduced their new logo on the kits. On 16 February 2018, the first three episodes of a docu-series called First Team: Juventus, which followed the club throughout the season, by spending time with the players behind the scenes both on and off the field, was released on Netflix; the other three episodes were released on 6 July 2018.
