Claudio Marchisio changes his life. After the communications agency founded together with Giorgio Chiellini, here is Circum, his new creation, the football player agency in partnership with Alessandro Tocci, a sports agent with FIGC and CONI qualifications. He, the former footballer’s historic manager and already a partner in various projects, will be entrusted with the management of sports proxies. Il Principino will put his experience at the service of footballers, ranging from youth sectors to established professionals. Among the clients there are already Loris Karius, Newcastle goalkeeper and partner of Diletta Leotta, Davide Dell’Erba of Bayern and Filippo Reale of Roma. “I chose this path because I think I can be useful by giving advice to help kids grow. When I stopped playing I started watching a lot of games and I wanted to focus on the player’s 360-degree growth. Many parents asked me why I couldn’t follow their children, I wish every boy who has this dream of experiencing what I experienced. I feel like a supporter rather than a prosecutor.”

yildiz, future Juventus

Speaking of young people, Marchisio also spoke about those of Juventus: “There are interesting players like Yildiz and Miretti, as well as Fagioli who will return from suspension, and they are proving it. In order to grow they also have to play certain games, they need experience. Yildiz must be able to grow in the right way, I heard too much criticism after Inter. He can become a pillar of the future but it cannot be rebuilt around him alone. From next year, however, we will have to work to improve the team.”

internal excessive power

Marchisio sees Inter as too superior: “For what Inter are demonstrating, second place for Juve, I think it is an excellent objective, because Milan and Atalanta are not inferior, Roma themselves are doing well with the arrival of De Rossi. Having said that, Inter is a step, perhaps even more, above all the others, I consider it among the top four in Europe. I think it can be repeated in the Champions League too. I was more surprised last year that they weren’t able to keep up with Napoli’s pace. They have been the strongest team for three years. If anything, I expected a different pace from the pursuers, but we must not take away the credit from a team that is growing month by month.” Transfer advice and new arrivals: “I pointed out Gudmundsson from the start of the season and he proved me right with great performances. I didn’t know Alcaraz, he has physique and temperament, he has less agility than Vidal but he remembers him for his movements. With the injuries of Rabiot and McKennie there will be an even greater need for him.” Finally, the 4-year disqualification of former teammate Pogba: “Great disappointment for Paul, if there has been a mistake it is right that there is a disqualification. I met him when he was a kid, we won a lot together, I don’t know if his career will end like this, I think he went through very difficult times not only because of doping, I just hope he’s well. During this period I preferred to leave him alone, we exchanged messages, he seemed calm to me. I know he really wants to play.”
