Club career

Early career and Pistoiese

edit

Born in Empoli,[1] Di Biase started playing football at the eponymous local club, before joining Pistoiese in 2019.[2][3] Having come through the club's youth ranks, in March 2022 he took part in the Torneo di Viareggio with the under-18 squad.[4][5][6]

The following summer, Di Biase was officially promoted to Pistoiese's first team;[2][4] he subsequently made his senior debut on 28 August 2022, aged 16, starting in a 2–1 Coppa Italia Serie D win over Aglianese.[7] With the appointment of new manager Luigi Consonni, Di Biase saw his playing time increase:[2][3] he went on to score his first senior goal on 30 October 2022, opening the score-sheet in a 2–4 Serie D win over Salsomaggiore.[8] In the process, he became Pistoiese's youngest goalscorer since 1937.[3] He made a total amount of 36 appearances for the Pistoia-based club, scoring 12 goals and three assists.[1]

Juventus

edit

Having attracted the interest of several Serie A teams during the first part of the 2022–23 season,[3][9][10] on 31 January 2023 Di Biase officially joined Juventus for a reported 350.000 transfer fee, being subsequently sent back on loan at Pistoiese until the end of the campaign.[11][12][13] As part of the agreement between the two clubs, he was set to join Juventus's Next Gen team once the deal would be activated.[11][13]

In September 2023, Di Biase suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his debut for Juventus's under-19 team,[14][15] and was ruled out for the rest of the first half of the season.[1] He returned to training in January 2024.[1]
