Lorenzo Amatucci (born 5 February 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for La Liga club Deportivo de A Coruña.

Club career

Born in Arezzo[1] and raised in Subbiano,[2][3] Amatucci came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina,[2] where he broke through the under-19 team during the 2021–22 season,[4] winning the Coppa Italia Primavera in the process.[5] He signed his first professional contract with the club in August 2022.[2][6] In the following campaign, the midfielder started training with the first team, under manager Vincenzo Italiano,[7][8] before winning the Supercoppa Primavera[9][10] and reaching another Coppa Italia final with the club's under-19 squad.[11]

On 3 September 2023, Amatucci made his professional – and Serie A – debut for Fiorentina, coming on as a substitute for Arthur in the 75th minute of a 4–0 loss to Inter.[3][12] The following day, he was included in the squad for the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League.[13][14]

On 1 February 2024, Amatucci was loaned out to Serie B club Ternana until the end of the season.[15][16]

On 30 July 2024, he was loaned out to Serie B club Salernitana until the end of the season.[17][18]

On 20 July 2025, Amatucci moved on a new loan to Las Palmas in Spain, with an option to buy.[19]

On 9 July 2026, he joined Deportivo de A Coruña on a five-year contract.[20][21]

International career

Amatucci has represented Italy at under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.[22]

He was included in the squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran,[23] where Italy eventually won the silver medal after losing to France in the final match.[24]

In June 2023, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta,[2][25] where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.[26][27]

In September 2023, he received his first call-up to the Italian under-20 national team.[28][29] He scored his first goal for the team on 11 September, in a 1–0 away victory over Czech Republic in the Under 20 Elite League.[30][31]

Style of play

Amatucci is a central midfielder,[10][32] who can also play in a more defensive role.[8] A right-footed and versatile player,[32] he has mainly been regarded for his positioning,[10] his long-range shooting,[2][10] his vision,[2][8] his ability on free kicks[2][32] and his leadership skills.[8][10]

Although he has been compared to Lucas Torreira,[32][33] he cited Xavi as his biggest source of inspiration.[33]
