Gianluca Mancini (born 17 April 1996) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Serie A club Atalanta.

Club career

Perugia

Mancini left for Perugia on loan in mid–2015, with an option to purchase. Mancini made his professional debut in the Serie B for Perugia on 11 September 2015 in a game against Pescara.[3]

After a brief return to Florence,[4] by the club excising the counter-option.[5] on 1 August 2016, Fiorentina announced that they had sold Mancini to Perugia outright[6] for free.[5] It was later revealed that Fiorentina was eligible to 50% future transfer fee.[7]

Atalanta

In January 2017, Mancini and Alessandro Santopadre,[8] son of Massimiliano Santopadre, chairman of Perugia, were signed by Atalanta for €200,000 and €1 million transfer fees respectively.[7] They were immediately loaned back to Perugia from Atalanta.[9] The deal was later accused by the prosecutor as a manipulation of transfer fees, which overstated the price-tag of Santopadre and understated Mancini.[10] The chairman and both clubs were acquitted of any wrongdoing in July 2018.[7]

Mancini made his Serie A debut in a 1–1 draw against his former team Fiorentina, replacing Rafael Tolói after 25 minutes.[11]

On 4 February 2018, he scored his first goal in a 1–0 for Atalanta against Chievo in Serie A.[12]

International career

On 1 September 2017, Mancini made his international debut with the Italy U21 team in a 3–0 friendly loss against Spain.[13]
