Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Castellammare di Stabia near Naples, Gianluigi played for local side Club Napoli Castellammare before joining AC Milan’s youth system. He grew up supporting Milan, and his older brother Antonio was also a goalkeeper who had played in the club’s academy.
A teenage breakthrough.
On 25 October 2015, he made his senior Milan debut against Sassuolo at just 16. He soon secured a place in the starting team. A senior Italy debut followed in September 2016, when he became the youngest goalkeeper to play for the national side.
The Wembley moment.
At the EURO 2020 final, played in July 2021, he saved penalties from Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka as Italy beat England in the shoot-out. UEFA named him Player of the Tournament.
Paris to Manchester.
He moved to PSG in 2021 and helped the club win four consecutive French league titles. His Paris chapter culminated in the club’s first Champions League triumph in 2025. That September, he joined Manchester City; in 2026, he took the No.1 shirt and spoke about being chosen as one of the team captains.
