Club career

Inter

He was raised in the Inter youth teams and started playing for their Under-19 squad in the 2016–17 season.[1]

On 10 April 2018 he signed his first professional contract with the club.[2]

He played several games for the senior squad in the Summer 2018 pre-season, including appearances at the 2018 International Champions Cup.[3]

On 30 January 2019 Inter agreed on his transfer to Pescara, with Pescara loaning him back to Inter for the remainder of the 2018–19 season, and Inter holding a buy-back clause.[4]

He was called-up for Inter's senior squad competitive game for the first time on 14 March 2019 for the Europa League game against Eintracht Frankfurt, but remained on the bench.[5]

Pescara

He joined Pescara on a previously agreed contract for the summer 2019 preseason.

He made his professional Serie B debut for Pescara on 24 September 2019 in a game against Cittadella. He substituted Antonio Balzano late in the first half after Balzano suffered a serious injury.[6] He made his first Serie B start in the next game on 27 September 2019 against Crotone.

International

He was first called up to represent his country in September 2016 for the Under-18 squad friendlies.[7]

gollark: Do you know what "arbitrary" means?
gollark: Sense of community: any team activity ever.Making friends: any team activity ever.Educating people: school, somewhat.Discipline: don't know, probably can be figured out.
gollark: You can do those WITHOUT forcing people to spend time in the military, via optional things?
gollark: As vaguely bad as school is, I prefer it over an environment where you are expected to blindly follow orders, have no privacy/free time/etc, and do physical activity lots.
gollark: I don't think you know what "physically able" means.
