Gabriele Biancheri (born 18 September 2006) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a forward for club Manchester United and the Wales under-19 national team.
Biancheri started his career in the academy of Cardiff City, where his prolific goal-scoring form earned him a call-up to the club's under-21 side, featuring in a 1–0 Premier League Cup home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 3 December 2022.[1] After over nine years with the Welsh club, Biancheri moved to Manchester United in February 2023.[2] [3]
Biancheri is reportedly of Italian descent, and thus is able to represent England, Italy and Wales at international level.[3] [4] He has represented Wales at under-16 and under-17 level.
He played for Wales at the Under-17 EUROs in 2023, scoring once against Poland as Wales were eliminated after the group stage.[5]
In March 2024 Biancheri was called up to the Wales under-19 squad for the first time, [6] and scored his first goal against Belgium in a 1–0 away win on March 25. [7]
Described as a "pacy, sharp and dynamic forward", Biancheri is comfortable playing across the front three, while also capable of playing in the number 10 role.[8]
