Riccardo Turicchia (born 5 February 2003) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as left-back for club Catanzaro on loan from Juventus Next Gen.
Turicchia began playing youth football for local club Borgo Tossignano,[3] and Casalfiumanese[4] before joining Imolese, where he played for three years.[5] In 2014, he moved to Cesena, before joining Juventus' youth setup.
On 9 October 2021, Turicchia made his unofficial debut for Juventus in a 2–1 home win against Alessandria coming on as substitute in the 63rd minute.[6] On 24 October, Turicchia made his professional debut for Juventus U23—the reserve team of Juventus—in a 1–1 home draw against Pro Sesto, coming on as substitute in the 84th minute.[7] He spent the 2021–22 season playing for Juventus U19, scoring eight goals in 39 matches, and helped the U19s reach the UEFA Youth League semifinals, their best-ever placing in the competition.[8]
On 8 November, he renewed his contract with Juventus until June 2025.[9]
On 31 July 2024, he moved to Catanzaro on loan.[10]
In May 2023, Turicchia was included in the Italian under-20 squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina,[11] where the Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final match.[12] [13]
Turicchia is a generous player. For this reason, beside his natural role of left back, he played several times as left winger and even central midfielder[14]
