The Italian defender is leaving his country for the first time in his career. He joins his new club for free. At 37, a last football adventure opens up to him. Head to MLS.
“Giorgione” began his adventure with the Old lady an evening of October 15, 2005. He will have played his last meeting on May 21, 2022. An impressive longevity. The rest is history: Nine Serie A, one Serie B in 2007, five Italian Cups, four Italian Super Cups and two Champions League finals. Respect.

Many other records were broken. Giorgio Chiellini also became the 3rd most capped player in the history of this great club that is Juventus, just behind monuments like Alessandro Del Piero or Gianluigi Buffon. That is to say. No doubt he will return to the bianconera leadership when he retires.
