Lorenzo Amatucci (born 5 February 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Salernitana, on loan from Serie A club Fiorentina.[1]
Club career
Born in Arezzo[2] and raised in Subbiano,[3] [4] Amatucci came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina, 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.[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.[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
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,[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
Amatucci is a central midfielder,[30] who can also play in a more defensive role. A right-footed and versatile player, he has mainly been regarded for his positioning, his long-range shooting, his vision, his ability on free kicks and his leadership skills.
Although he has been compared to Lucas Torreira,[31] he cited Xavi as his biggest source of inspiration.
