Tioccio is a product of the Bianconeri academy, having joined in 2022 after spells with SPAL and Padova. He signed his first professional contract with Juventus in November 2024 at just 16 years old. In April this year, he extended his deal until 2028 with an option for one more season, which the Turin club has now exercised.

Last season, the central midfielder featured in 23 matches and scored 3 goals for Juventus U20 in the Primavera, and also made his debut for the U21 youth team. Additionally, Tioccio is a regular call-up for Italy's youth national squads.

It's worth noting that Marco is the son of former Serie C footballer Matteo Tioccio. In last season's UEFA Youth League, he netted 3 goals in 3 matches for Juventus' junior team.
