In July 2017, Portanova moved to Juventus.[3] He made his Serie C debut for Juventus U23 on 30 March 2019, in a game against Pistoiese, as a 76th-minute substitute for Luca Zanimacchia.[4] His senior and Serie A debut for Juventus came on 26 May 2019, in the club's final match of the season, coming on as a second-half substitute for Emre Can in a 2–0 away loss to Sampdoria. During the match, he set up a goal for Moise Kean, but it was disallowed for offside.[5]

On 29 January 2021, Portanova moved to Genoa for a fee of €10 million, plus a maximum of €5 million in performance-related bonuses.[6]

On 3 August 2023, Portanova joined Reggiana in Serie B on a season-long loan.[7][8] Three days later, he scored twice on his debut for Reggiana in a Coppa Italia game against Pescara.[9]
