Stefano Sturaro is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian club Juventus. Prior to joining Juventus in 2014, where he has since won two consecutive Serie A titles, he also played with Genoa and Modena. At international level, he has represented the Italy national under-21 football team at the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
A quick, hard-working, tactically versatile player, Sturaro is capable of playing anywhere in midfield, but is usually deployed as a box-to-box, central, or defensive midfielder in front of the back-line, due to his qualities as a ball-winner, as well as his good technique, and subsequent capacity to start attacking plays after obtaining possession; he is also capable of playing as a defender, due to his physical attributes and ability in the air. Regarded as one of the most promising young footballers in the world, due to his work-rate, composure, tenacity, and ability to read the game, his playing style has drawn comparisons with compatriot and 2006 World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso. Unlike Gattuso, however, Sturaro is also known for his offensive contribution, and his ability to make attacking runs and advance into good positions, which has also led him to be compared to former Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal. Although right-footed, Sturaro is also capable of distributing and striking the ball accurately with his left foot.
