Alessandro Bianco (born 1 October 2002) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Fiorentina.

Early life

Alessandro Bianco was born in Turin, spending most of its youth in the Metropolitan City of Turin, in a family from Piedmont.[1] [2] [3]

A promising cyclist during his early years, Bianco started to play football as a 7-year-old in Orbassano, but soon joining Torino's academy, Juve's old rival.[1] [2] [4] After progressing through the youth ranks of the club from his hometown, Bianco was not retained by Il Toro as an under-15, and went on to play with amateur side Chisola Calcio, in Vinovo.[5]

Enjoying a few regional and national success with the youth team from Chisola, Bianco quickly attracted the attention of another great Serie A club, signing on loan to ACF Fiorentina in 2018, before making his move a permanent one a year later.

Club career

After a first season with Fiorentina's Primavera, where his team won the Coppa after beating the likes of Milan and Juventus,[6] he made his first apparences on the bench in Serie A during the 2020–21 season, under Cesare Prandelli.

For his second season in Alberto Aquilani’s primavera team, Bianco definitely became one of the most prominent member of the under-19, leading his team to another Coppa Primavera win, once more with victories against Milan and Juventus—during which he respectively delivered an assist and scored a goal from a free-kick—before defeating Genoa and eventually Lazio in the final.[7]

After impressing new manager Vincenzo Italiano during the early 2021–22 season,[8] Bianco made his professional debut for ACF Fiorentina on the 13 August 2021, replacing Erick Pulgar during a 4–0 home Coppa Italia win against Cosenza.[9] [10]

Announced on a potential loan move to the Serie B team against which he made his debut,[11] he eventually stayed in Florence, making more bench appearances in Serie A[12] and another on the field in Coppa, again replacing Pulgar,[13] while still playing with the Primavera squad, notably during their victorious Supercoppa Primavera campaign against Empoli.[14] [15]

On 13 July 2023, Bianco moved to Serie B club Reggiana on a loan deal until 30 June 2024.[16]

International career

Alessandro Bianco is youth international for Italy, having already played with the under-18 before his debut professional season at Fiorentina.[5] [17]
