Club career
Peluso began his career on ASD Petriana, in Rome. He later moved to Lazio, but was subsequently released.
In 2001, he joined Pro Vercelli, where he played three full seasons. In 2004 summer he joined Ternana, and after two years in the club, he was bought from AlbinoLeffe, being promoted with the Bergamo club.
However, in his second season, he had a fallout with the club's ownership, and was removed from squad. In January 2009, Peluso joined Atalanta, as an exchange for Karamoko Cissé.[2]
On 8 March 2009, Peluso made his Serie A debut, playing against A.C. Milan.[3] On 25 October, he made his first top flight goal, against Parma.[4]
On 3 January 2013, Peluso joined Juventus on a six-month loan, with a view to a permanent transfer after the period. He spent the second half of the 2012–13 campaign on loan with the Bianconeri, and his performances earned him a permanent transfer and a contract until June 2017, as Juventus captured the league title. On June 2013, Juventus announced that they had completed the signing of Federico Peluso from Atalanta for a transfer fee of €4.8 million. After the end of the 2013–14 season, Serie A side Sassuolo announced that they acquired Peluso outright, as part of the deal that brought Luca Marrone back to Juventus.[5]
International career
On 10 August 2012, after his impressive performances on Atalanta, Peluso (alongside teammates Andrea Consigli, Manolo Gabbiadini and Ezequiel Schelotto) was called from manager Cesare Prandelli to the Italian national squad.[6] Five days later, he made his debut, in a friendly loss against England.[7] On 11 September, he scored his first international goal, in a 2–0 home win in a World Cup qualifier against Malta.[8]
