Club career

Carboni started his career in his native Argentina with Lanús, before leaving for Italy at the age of sixteen, when his father accepted the job of youth coordinator at Catania.[2] He only spent five months with Catania before his performances caught the attention of clubs across Europe. He signed for Inter Milan in January 2020.[3]

International career

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Carboni is eligible to represent both Italy and Argentina at international level.[1] Having played for the Italy U18 national team in 2021, scoring in a 3–1 friendly win over Austria, he switched allegiance to his native Argentina and was called up to the Argentina national team in 2022.[7][8]

Style of play

Initially a forward at Lanús, Carboni moved further down the pitch during his time in Italy, and mostly operates as a left wing-back or left midfielder.[2][9]
