Daniele Montevago (born 18 March 2003) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Perugia.

Club career

Born in Palermo, Montevago started playing football at three years old,[2] before joining the local grassroots football school Stella d'Oriente.[3] [4] In 2017, he entered Palermo's youth sector, where he spent two seasons before the club ultimately faced bankruptcy; then, in 2019, he joined Sampdoria.[5]

Following his performances for the Blucerchiati's youth teams, Montevago started training with the first team during the second half of the 2021-22 season, under manager Marco Giampaolo, and received his first call-ups to Serie A match-day squads.[6] In the summer of 2022, the forward extended his contract with Sampdoria until 2025.

In the following campaign, Montevago kept training with the senior squad, under the new coach Dejan Stanković; he subsequently made his professional debut on 29 October 2022, coming in a substitute for Manolo Gabbiadini at the 78th minute of the 3–0 Serie A loss against Inter Milan.[7] On 12 January 2023, he made his first start in a professional game, together with team-mate Flavio Paoletti, in a 1–0 Coppa Italia loss to Fiorentina.[8]

On 1 September 2023, Montevago joined Serie C club Gubbio on loan.[9] On 23 September, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–0 league win over Vis Pesaro.[10]

On 11 January 2024, he joined fellow third-tier side Virtus Entella on loan until the end of the season.[11] [12]

On 29 July 2024, Montevago moved to Perugia on a three-year contract, with Sampdoria holding an option to buy back.[13]

International career

Montevago has represented Italy at youth international level. After taking part in training camps with the under-15 and under-16 national teams,[14] [15] he went on to play for the under-20 national team.[16]

In May 2023, he was included by head coach Carmine Nunziata in the Italian squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina,[17] where the Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final match.[18] [19]

Style of play

Montevago is a centre forward, who has been regarded for his physical strength and his finishing.

Although he has been compared to Christian Vieri, he has actually named Duván Zapata and Fabio Quagliarella as his main sources of inspiration.
