As of 5 September 2017

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.

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.

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.
