Lorenzo Amatucci (born 5 February 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Salernitana, on loan from Fiorentina.[1]
Club career
[edit]Born in Arezzo[2] and raised in Subbiano,[3][4] Amatucci came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina,[3] where he broke through the under-19 team during the 2021–22 season,[5] winning the Coppa Italia Primavera in the process.[6] He signed his first professional contract with the club in August 2022.[3][7] In the following campaign, the midfielder started training with the first team, under manager Vincenzo Italiano,[8][9] before winning the Supercoppa Primavera[10][11] and reaching another Coppa Italia final with the club's under-19 squad.[12]
On 3 September 2023, Amatucci made his professional – and Serie A – debut for Fiorentina, coming on as a substitute for Arthur in the 75th minute of a 4–0 loss to Inter Milan.[4][13] The following day, he was included in the squad for the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[14][15]
On 1 February 2024, Amatucci was loaned out to Serie B club Ternana until the end of the season.[16][17]
On 30 July 2024, Amatucci was loaned out to Serie B club Salernitana until the end of the season.[18][19]
International career
[edit]Amatucci has represented Italy at under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.[20]
He was included in the squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran,[21] where Italy eventually won the silver medal after losing to France in the final match.[22]
In June 2023, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta,[3][23] where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.[24][25]
In September 2023, he received his first call-up to the Italian under-20 national team.[26][27] He scored his first goal for the team on 11 September, in a 1–0 away victory over Czech Republic in the Under 20 Elite League.[28][29]
Style of play
[edit]Amatucci is a central midfielder,[11][30] who can also play in a more defensive role.[9] A right-footed and versatile player,[30] he has mainly been regarded for his positioning,[11] his long-range shooting,[3][11] his vision,[3][9] his ability on free kicks[3][30] and his leadership skills.[9][11]
Although he has been compared to Lucas Torreira,[30][31] he cited Xavi as his biggest source of inspiration.[31]
