Chibozo signed for Juventus in summer 2017.[5] On 9 October 2021, Chibozo made his unofficial debut for the first team in a 2–1 friendly win against Alessandria, coming on as substitute in the 63rd minute and scoring the winning goal 30 minutes later.[1] With eight appearances, Chibozo helped the U19s reach the 2021–22 UEFA Youth League semifinals, their best-ever placing in the competition. He scored against Malmö FF and against Zenit in the group stage and he scored against Liverpool in the quarter-finals and against Benfica in the semi-finals.[6][7] Chibozo ended the season with 21 goals scored in all competitions.[8]

Amiens

On 1 July 2022, Chibozo left Juventus and joined Ligue 2 side Amiens on a season-long loan with an obligation-to-buy[9][10] reported to be around €1 million.[11]

He subsequently made his professional debut on 30 July, coming in as a substitute for Mamadou Fofana at the 76th minute of a 3-0 league loss against Metz.[12]

On 31 January 2023, Spanish club Real Murcia announced the signing of Chibozo on loan until the end of the season.[13] However, four days later, Chibozo's agent announced that the transfer had not happened, and that the player would remain at Amiens.[14]
