Mattia Pagliuca (born 25 April 2002) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie D club Virtus Verona.

Club career

Mattia Pagliuca made his Serie A debut for Bologna on 13 December 2020 against Roma appearing as a substitute for Emanuel Vignato at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in a 5–1 defeat.[2]

In the summer of 2022 he went on loan to Imolese; in December 2022 he suffered a cruciate ligament break in his knee which forced him to end the competitive season early.

On 21 August 2023 his transfer was announced, on annual loan, to Alessandria.[3] On 1 February 2024, Pagliuca moved on loan to Brindisi.[4]

On 8 August 2024, Pagliuca signed a two-season contract with Virtus Verona.[5] With Virtus Verona, he scored his first senior professional goal on 12 October 2024, a late winner against Arzignano, with his father Gianluca present in the stands.[6]

Personal life

Mattia is the son of former Italian international goalkeeper Gianluca Pagliuca who also previously played for Bologna.[7]
