Club career

Palumbo started his career at Amici di Mugnano youth academy.[1][2] Palumbo and teammate Simone Russini were signed by Umbrian side Ternana in 2011. Palumbo made his professional debut in the first match of Ternana in the second round of 2014–15 Coppa Italia. He also played 12 times in 2014–15 Serie B season.

On 6 July 2018, he joined Serie B club Salernitana on a season-long loan. Salernitana held an option to buy him out at the end of the season, which would turn into an obligation to buy if Salernitana got promoted into Serie A.[3]

After making only 5 appearances for Salernitana in the first half of the season, he was recalled from loan. On 25 January 2019, he rejoined Ternana on another loan until the end of 2018–19 season.[4] On 3 August 2019, he return on loan at Ternana until 30 June 2020 with an option to buy.[5]

International career

Palumbo received his first Italy U-20 team call-up in November 2015, replacing midfielders Lorenzo Pellegrini and Luca Mazzitelli who injured, Alberto Grassi who left for the U21 team.[6][7] Palumbo was an unused bench against Germany on 12 November.[8]

On 13 November Mazzitelli was returned from injury, but Alberigo Evani the coach still kept Palumbo in the squad, as well as adding Leonardo Capezzi to the call-up.[9] On 17 November Palumbo was featured as a bench warmer again.
