Juventus

Born in Biella, Piedmont region, Beltrame began his youth career with Novara Calcio. He was signed by Juventus FC in 2011 in a co-ownership deal, for €750,000,[3][4] where he formed a strike partnership with Stefano Padovan[citation needed] in the Primavera (under-19) squad, with whom he graduated the youth academy in June 2013 after helping the club to several youth-team accolades, including the 2013 Coppa Italia Primavera and the 2012 Torneo di Viareggio. During the 2012–13 Serie A season, Beltrame also began to earn a handful of first-team call-ups by head coach, Antonio Conte.[5] Juventus also signed Beltrame outright for an additional fee of €750,000 (half of the registration rights of Alberto Libertazzi plus €300,000).[3]

He made his debut for Juventus on 26 January 2013 against Genoa, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Claudio Marchisio, as the club was searching for a win during a 1–1 draw. Beltrame nearly scored just minutes after his introduction if not for a vital save by Sebastien Frey.

Under the joint ownership agreement between Juventus and Sampdoria, the player's contractual playing rights would be acquired by Sampdoria and the player would remain on loan with Bari for the remainder of the 2013–14 Serie B season. The co-ownership agreement between Juventus and Sampdora was officially renewed on 18 June 2014.[7]

On 1 July 2014, Beltrame officially joined Sampdoria upon the conclusion of the loan deal, although he it was soon agreed that he would be joining Serie B side, Modena on another season-long loan deal.[8] However, in winter transfer window of 2015, Beltrame returned to Juventus for €1 million in a 4+12-year contract, with Jakub Hromada and Atila Varga moved to Sampdoria for €600,000 and €400,000 respectively.[9][10]
