Matteo Prati (born 28 December 2003) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Cagliari.

Club career

Prati made his senior professional debut for the club he was raised in, Ravenna in Serie C in March 2021.[2] Following Ravenna's relegation to Serie D for the 2021–22 season, he became a regular member of the starting lineup.[3]

On 27 July 2022, Prati signed a three-year contract (with an option to extend for one more year) with SPAL in Serie B.[4] He made his Serie B debut for SPAL on 3 September 2022 in a game against Bari.[5] He made a good impact, but the team was relegated at the end of the season.

On 17 August 2023, Prati officially joined Serie A club Cagliari for five million euros (plus two millions in add-ons),[6][7] signing a five-year contract with the club.[7][8] In the process, the deal broke the transfer record as the most lucrative sale from any Serie C team.[6][7] He made his Serie A debut on 17 September 2023, playing as a starter in the match against Udinese.

International career

In May 2023, Prati was included in the Italian U20 squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina,[9] where the Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final match.[10][11]

On 8 September 2023 he made his debut with the Italy U21, in the qualifying match against Latvia.
