The 33-year-old was released by Juve in August 2018 and signed a contract with Zenit until 2020 a month later.

However, continued knee problems limited him to just 15 games for the Russian club, although he did manage to score twice.

The ex-Italy international is best known for his association with the Old Lady, playing 389 times, winning seven Scudetti and reaching two Champions League Finals.

As for a possible Juve reunion with Gianluigi Buffon, there has so far been no suggestion as to where Marchisio will head next.
