Lorenzo Amatucci (born 5 February 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Salernitana, on loan from Fiorentina.
Club career
Born in Arezzo and raised in Subbiano, Amatucci came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina, where he broke through the under-19 team during the 2021–22 season, winning the Coppa Italia Primavera in the process. He signed his first professional contract with the club in August 2022. In the following campaign, the midfielder started training with the first team, under manager Vincenzo Italiano, before winning the Supercoppa Primavera and reaching another Coppa Italia final with the club's under-19 squad.
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. The following day, he was included in the squad for the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
On 1 February 2024, Amatucci was loaned out to Serie B club Ternana until the end of the season.
On 30 July 2024, Amatucci was loaned out to Serie B club Salernitana until the end of the season.
International career
Amatucci has represented Italy at under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.
He was included in the squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, where Italy eventually won the silver medal after losing to France in the final match.
In June 2023, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta, where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.
In September 2023, he received his first call-up to the Italian under-20 national team. 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.
Style of play
Amatucci is a central midfielder, 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, he cited Xavi as his biggest source of inspiration.
