Andrea Conti

Atalanta

Conti was born and raised in Lecco, Lombardy. In 2002, he had a successful trial at AC Milan yet refused to join the team due to his dislike of the club's youth training center in Linate area of the city, as well as its far-from-home location. He also had an offer from the club's cross-city rivals, Inter Milan, yet eventually joined Atalanta's youth academy where he would play together with Mattia Caldara and Roberto Gagliardini for over a decade. In July 2013, Conti was loaned to Lega Pro side Perugia. He made his professional debut on 4 August 2013, starting in a 1–0 Coppa Italia home loss against Savona. His first league appearance occurred later that month, a 2–2 away draw against Nocerina. Conti made 16 league appearances, helping his team achieve promotion to Serie B. On 10 July 2014, Conti moved to a fellow second-tier team Virtus Lanciano, in a season-long loan deal. Conti made 24 league appearances while his team finished 14th out of 22. In the summer of 2015, he returned to Atalanta and was included in the first team squad for the upcoming Serie A season. On 30 September 2015, Conti signed a new contract with Atalanta until July 2019. He made his debut for the club on 2 December, in a 3–1 loss against Udinese in Coppa Italia. Conti made his debut in Serie A on 6 January 2016, in a 2–1 loss against the same opponent. His first goal in the competition occurred on 3 February, in a 2–1 win against Verona. Conti managed to score eight goals in 33…

On 12 August 2015, Conti made his debut with the Italy U21 team in a friendly match against Hungary. In June 2017, he was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Luigi Di Biagio. Italy was eliminated by Spain in the semifinals on 27 June, following a 3–1 defeat, although Conti did not appear during the match. In May 2017, he was first called up to the senior squad by Gian Piero Ventura for the match for the San Marino friendly. In August 2017, he was called up to the senior squad by Gian Piero Ventura for the 2018 World Cup qualification match against Spain on 2 September and on 5 September against Israel. He made his senior international debut in Italy's 1–0 home win over Israel, but was forced off early due to injury and replaced by Davide Zappacosta.

Conti can play as a right-back or a right wing-back, although he is more comfortable in the latter position. With his pace, he is known for going forward and making overlapping runs. His level of stamina allows him to make attacking runs and rapidly get back into defense when needed.
