Club career

[edit]

Early career in Rome

[edit]

Matteo Cancellieri arrived in the AS Roma academy at the age of nine from Polisportiva De Rossi in the Appio-Latino, soon becoming a prolific goalscorer with the Giallorossi's youth setup.[2][3]

Cancellieri first rose to fame on 13 March 2018, during the Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk, where he was a ball boy at the Stadio Olimpico. He was pushed by the Shakhtar player Facundo Ferreyra, who made him fall beyond an advertising board. Roma eventually won the game, qualifying for the quarter-finals, where they would beat FC Barcelona in a famous remontada, under the management of coach Di Francesco.[2][4][5][6]

Verona

[edit]

In 2020, he joined Hellas Verona on a two years loan, with an obligation of purchase, along with his teammates Mert Çetin and Aboudramane Diaby, as Marash Kumbulla made the move in the opposite direction to join Rome.[6][7][8]

He played his first season with the club in the Campionato Primavera 2, still impressing with his goal tally, as he scored 15 goals and delivered 7 assists in only 18 games.[9][10]

He made his professional debut for Verona under manager Eusebio Di Francesco on 14 August 2021, starting the Coppa Italia game against Catanzaro, proving to be instrumental in his team 3–0 home win.[9][11] Cancellieri made his Serie A debut only one week later against Sassuolo, coming on as a substitute, before starting his first Serie A game six days later, against Inter Milan, the reigning champions.[12]

Loan to Lazio

[edit]

On 30 June 2022, Cancellieri moved on loan to Lazio with an obligated to buy his rights if certain conditions are met.[13]

Loan to Empoli

[edit]

On 16 August 2023, Cancellieri joined Empoli on a one-year loan.[14] Later that year, on 2 December, he scored his first goal in a 1–1 away draw against Genoa, one minute after entering the pitch.[15] On the final matchday of the 2023–24 season, he scored a goal and provided an assist in a 2–1 victory over Roma, securing Empoli's survival in the top tier.[16]

Loan to Parma

[edit]

On 14 August 2024, Cancellieri was loaned to Parma on a one-year deal with an option to buy.[17]

International career

[edit]

Already an international with Italy's under-17 in 2018,[3][10][18] Matteo Cancellieri was first called with the under-21 in August 2021.[19] He made his debut on 3 September during the European Championship qualifying, starting the home game against Luxembourg.[20]

He was selected in the senior Italy squad for the 2022 Finalissima against Argentina on 1 June 2022 and for 2022–23 UEFA Nations League group stage matches against Germany, Hungary, England and Germany between 4 and 14 June 2022.[21]
