Andrea Pinamonti (born 19 May 1999)[2] is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Lazio and the Italy national team.

Club career

Inter Milan

At the age of 17 on 8 December 2016, Pinamonti made his senior debut for Inter Milan against Sparta Prague in the last match of 2016–17 UEFA Europa League group stage. He was selected as a starter by coach Stefano Pioli and delivered a well-received performance, helping Inter to finish their European campaign with a 2–1 victory.[5] On 12 February 2017, Pinamonti made his Serie A debut in a 2–0 victory against Empoli at San Siro.[6][7] He latter dubbed his debut as "indescribable".[8] In the 2016–17 season, Pinamonti also won the Primavera title with the U19 youth team.[9]

In the 2017–18 season, Pinamonti became a member of the first team[10][11] but continued to play with Internzionale's U19 team in the UEFA Youth League. He made his season's first appearance on 12 December 2017, playing as a starter in the Coppa Italia match against Serie C club Pordenone.

Loan moves to Frosinone, Genoa, and Empoli

On 17 August 2018, Pinamonti joined Serie A club Frosinone on loan until 30 June 2019.[12] He scored his first goal in Serie A with Frosinone on 28 October against SPAL.[13]

On 30 June 2019, Pinamonti joined Genoa on loan with an obligation to buy.[14] On 18 September 2020, his contract was bought back by Inter Milan.[15] On 25 August 2021, he joined Empoli on a season-long loan.[16]

Sassuolo

On 11 August 2022, Pinamonti joined Sassuolo on loan with an obligation to buy for a reported fee of €20 million, with a subsequent contract valid until June 2027.[17][18]

Loan to Genoa

On 16 August 2024, Pinamonti returned to Genoa on loan with an option to buy.[19]

Lazio

On 27 August 2026, Pinamonti joined Lazio for €3 million on a five-year deal.[20]

International career

In January 2019, Pinamonti was called up for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, but forced to withdraw due to a knee injury he suffered at the U-20 FIFA World Cup earlier that year.[21] On 16 November 2022, Pinamonti made his senior team debut in a 3–1 friendly victory against Albania.[22]

Personal life

Pinamonti is a lifelong Inter fan and has cited Mauro Icardi as his favourite player and role model.[8]
