After the end of the 2009–10 Serie A season, he was borrowed by Juventus for their US tour, along with 4 other players.[4] He played a few games for Juventus in their post-season tour and then returned to Atalanta for their own preseason work.

Padoin has been praised by his managers for his work-rate, consistency, tactical intelligence, and versatility, as he is capable of playing in several positions, and adapting himself to different formations. Although he usually plays anywhere in midfield, throughout his career he has also been deployed in defence, as a full-back, as a central defender, and as a wing-back.
