Career
Bologna
Ravaglia was raised in the Bologna youth teams and started playing for their Under-19 squad in the 2016–17 season.[2]
During the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, he appeared on the bench in Serie A matches 40 times, but did not see any playing time.
During the 2020–21 season he became the Bologna's second keeper (after Łukasz Skorupski) during the season, and he also did his debut for the club in Serie A on 13 December 2020 in a 5–1 home loss against Roma.[3]
Loan to Südtirol
On 10 July 2018, he joined Serie C club Südtirol on a season-long loan.[4]
He made his professional Serie C debut for Südtirol on 5 May 2019 in a game against Monza. He replaced Michele Nardi at half-time.[5] That remained his only appearance for Südtirol as he stayed on the bench for the rest of the season.
Loan to Gubbio
On 23 July 2019, he was loaned to Serie C club Gubbio.[6]
He made his first starting-lineup Serie C appearance for Gubbio on 25 August 2019 in a game against Triestina.[7]
Loan to Frosinone
On 17 July 2021, he was loaned to Serie B side Frosinone.[8]
Loan to Reggina
On 21 July 2022, Ravaglia joined Reggina on loan.[9] The loan was terminated early in January 2023 after Nicola Bagnolini suffered a long-term injury and Bologna needed a third goalkeeper.[10]
Return to Bologna
On 20 December 2023, Ravaglia started and saved a penalty kick by Lautaro Martínez in a 2–1 away victory over Inter Milan, in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.[11][12]
Watford
On 31 July 2026, Ravaglia signed for EFL Championship club Watford for an undisclosed fee, signing a six-year contract.[13]
