Andrea Colpani (born 11 May 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or right winger for club Fiorentina, on loan from Monza.

Club career

Atalanta

Colpani is a product of the Atalanta Youth Sector, and started playing for their under-19 squad in the 2016–17 season.

In the 2017–18 and 2018–19, he was called up to the senior squad on several occasions, including the 2019 Coppa Italia Final, but did not make any appearances.

Loan to Trapani

On 17 July 2019, Colpani was loaned to newly-promoted Serie B club Trapani on a season-long loan.[3] He made his professional Serie B debut for Trapani, on 24 August 2019, against Ascoli. He started the game and played the first 63 minutes.[4] Colpani played 34 league games for Trapani, as well as two games in Coppa Italia.

Monza

On 22 August 2020, Colpani was sent on a two-year loan to newly-promoted Serie B side Monza, with an option and conditional obligation to purchase.[5] He scored his first goal on 16 March 2021, as a substitute in a 2–0 home win over Reggiana.[6] On 1 November 2021, Colpani scored his first goal of the 2021–22 season, helping Monza beat Alessandria 1–0.[7] Following Monza's Serie A promotion on 29 May 2022, Colpani's obligation for purchase clause was triggered.[8]

Colpani made his Serie A debut during the 2022–23 season on 21 August, coming on as a substitute in a 4–0 defeat away to Napoli in the second matchday.[9] He scored his first Serie A goal on 26 August, in a 2–1 home defeat to Udinese.[10] On 10 August 2023, Monza renewed Colpani's contract until 30 June 2028.[11]

On 26 August 2023, Colpani scored his first brace in a 2–0 Serie A win against Empoli.[12] He left the club with 133 games and 18 goals in all competitions.

Fiorentina

On 26 July 2024, Colpani joined fellow-Serie A side Fiorentina on a one-year loan with an option for purchase.[13]

International career

Colpani was selected for Italy's 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup squad, and made four appearances at the tournament—three as substitute—as Italy finished in fourth place.[14] Colpani played 16 games between 2018 and 2019 for the under-20 team.[15] On 3 September 2020, Colpani scored a free kick for Italy U21 on his debut, in a friendly against Slovenia.[16]

Colpani was called up to the senior Italy squad for UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against North Macedonia and Ukraine on 17 and 20 November 2023, respectively.[17]

Style of play

Due to his similarities with Javier Pastore, Colpani is sometimes nicknamed "El Flaco".[18]
