Club career

Juventus

Born in Biella, Italy, Beltrame began his youth career with yjr neighborhood giants, Juventus Football Club. He was promoted to the Primavera (under-20) squad in 2011, where he formed a notable strike partnership with Stefano Padovan, with whom he graduated the youth academy in June 2013 after helping the club to several youth-team accolades, including the 2013 Coppa Italia and the 2012 Torneo di Viareggio. During the 2012–13 Serie A season, Beltrame also began to earn a handful of first-team call-ups by head coach, Antonio Conte.[1]

He made his debut for Juventus on 26 January 2013 against Genoa, coming on as an 82nd minute substitute for Claudio Marchisio, as the club was searching for a win during a 1–1 draw. Beltrame nearly scored just minutes after his introduction if not for a vital save by Sebastien Frey.

On 2 September 2013, Beltrame was signed by Bari on a one-year loan deal from Juventus.[2] In January 2014, however, half of the registration rights of his contract was swapped with 50% registration rights of Vincenzo Fiorillo of Sampdoria. Under the joint ownership agreement between Juventus and Sampdoria, the player's contractual playing rights would be acquired by Sampdoria and the player would remain on loan with Bari for the remainder of the 2013–14 Serie B season. The co-ownership agreement between Juventus and Sampdora was officially renewed on 18 June 2014.[3]

Sampdoria

On 30 June 2014, Beltrame officially joined Sampdoria upon the conclusion of the loan deal, although he it was soon agreed that he would be joining Serie B side, Modena on another season-long loan deal.[4]
