Marchisio was restricted to just 15 Serie A appearances last season due to injury and competition for places.

He said in a post on Twitter after the announcement was made: “I cannot stop looking at this photo and these stripes on which I have written my life as a man and as a footballer.

“I love this shirt to the point that, despite everything, I believe that the good of the squad comes first. Always.”

Non riesco a smettere di guardare questa fotografia e queste strisce su cui ho scritto la mia vita di uomo e di calciatore.
Amo questa maglia al punto che, nonostante tutto, sono convinto che il bene della squadra venga prima. Sempre. pic.twitter.com/AoNuiiZ2cS

The arrival of Emre Can from Liverpool this summer would have seen his chances even more limited in the coming campaign, leading him to consider leaving his home city and the club whose colours he has worn since the age of seven.
