Andrea Schiavone (born 25 February 1993) is an Italian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Cesena.
Club career
Juventus
Born in Torino, Schiavone began his playing career within the youth ranks of local giants, Juventus Football Club in 2000. Working his way through the club's renowned youth academy, Schiavone was promoted to the Primavera (under-20) squad in 2010, and going on to captain the team before graduating the academy at the conclusion of the 2012–13 season. Schiavone was one of the four overage player for the Primavera that season, as the age limit had changed to under-19. Half of the registration rights of Schiavone was also sold to Siena for €1.5 million, as a cashless swap with Marcel Büchel. Initially set to join the reigning champions' first–team during the 2013 pre–season ritiro, Schiavone was instead sent to recently relegated Serie B side, A.C. Siena in order to experience regular first-team football.
Siena
On 1 July 2013, Schiavone formally became a player of Siena. Schiavone went on to become an important part of the Tuscan outfit who would have finished third in the 2013–14 Serie B and, in turn, earn a promotion play-off spot were it not for an 8-point deduction thanks to financial irregularities. He finished his first season of professional football having made 21 league appearances for the Robur, scoring 2 goals.[1]
On 18 June 2014, Juventus and Siena had reached an agreement for the co-ownership of the player to be renewed for another year, with Siena keeping hold of the player's registration rights ahead of the 2014–15 Serie B season. The new agreement would expire on 19 June 2015.
Return to Juventus
On 15 July 2014, Juventus officially re-signed their former youth team captain after A.C. Siena officially bankrupted following their failure to register for the upcoming Serie B campaign,[2] and thus being entered into Serie D for the 2014–15 Serie D season.[3] All of their players were therefore released from their contracts and free to sign on with other clubs. Schiavone was re-signed by Juventus instead.
Cesena
On 1 July 2016 he was signed by Serie B club A.C. Cesena.[4]
International career
Schiavone has represented Italy at various youth levels. He has appeared in 24 matches for the Azzurini and has scored 1 goal. Eleven of his twenty-four international matches came for the Italy under-20 national team.
