Following the appointment of the new board and staff at Juventus at the conclusion of the 2009-10 season, Costantino was one of many new faces brought to Turin. He was signed for about €170,000 in 5-year contract.[2] Ex-Sampdoria head coach Luigi Delneri and sports director Giuseppe Marotta were appointed as the same positions in Juve and played a role in bringing the youngster to Turin. He joined Juventus in order to strengthen the Primavera team but was immediately promoted to the senior squad as their no.1 Italian international Gianluigi Buffon was injured for several months. He was registered in Juventus's 24-men UEFA Europa League first team squad (list A) as the fourth keeper, behind Gianluigi Buffon, former Sampdoria teammate, Marco Storari and Austrian international, Alex Manninger.[3] Juventus also registered young Primavera player Marco Bonassi in B list in qualifying and playoffs phase,[4] but soon left the club on loan. Costantino played most of the games for the "Primavera Squadra".[5]

He again returned to Juventus on 30 June 2012, before being loaned out once more to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione outfit, VdA Saint-Christophe on 30 August 2012. WIth the fourth division squad, Costantino made 8 league appearances, serving much of the season as a back-up to Pierluigi Frattali.
