He played for their under-19 squad in the 2017–18 UEFA Youth League.
The forward made his Serie C debut for Juventus U23 on 30 September 2018, in a game against Novara as an 83rd-minute substitute for Matheus Pereira. At the end of the season, Juventus redeemed the €1 million buying option they had secured when they loaned him.

He made his Champions League debut on 7 August, coming on as a substitute for the injured Paulo Dybala in a 2–1 home win over Lyon in the second leg of the round of 16 of the competition; the result saw Juventus eliminated from the competition on away goals, following a 2–2 draw on aggregate.
On 9 September 2020 he returned to Empoli in Serie B on loan.
On 22 June 2021, he joined Lecce on loan.

## International career

Olivieri was first called up to represent his country in 2014, for Italy national under-16 football team friendlies. He represented the under-17 squad at the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, scoring one goal, as Italy did not advance from the group stage. Olivieri then represented the under-18, under-19, and under-20 squads, all in friendlies.

## Style of play

A former centre-forward, tactically, Olivieri usually plays as a left winger, a position which allows him to cut inside and shoot on goal with his stronger right foot. He is known for his eye for goal, and also possesses a good physique, despite his relatively modest height of 1.77 m.
