Roberto Gagliardini

He's a fisherman and likes to take his boat out on off days. Friends tag along when they can.

If you get called Duracell, there can be only one reason behind that. You run non-stop, and that is what our midfielder does very good. A lively child-he once was, he has taken his favorite childhood activity and applied it to the fullest extent, to his career as a professional footballer. He loves running in the middle of the park and this trait, his ability to cover ground, lets him play a box-to-box role. But a good shooting technique combined with a decent passing game allows him to play in more advanced positions as well. This Bergamo native chose to spend his youth rooted to Atalanta. It is understandable because he would have wanted to spend his childhood not far from home. But, that changed as soon as he was eligible to play for Atalanta's senior side. Most of his time with the Lombardy based club as a senior was spent traveling. He would go on to represent Cesena, Spezia, and Vicenza whilst with Atalanta. Inter brought him to Milan on loan in 2017, and made the deal permanent in 2018. He has been with them since. He has not featured for the Italian national side much, and it is going to be very difficult to break into the senior side. But we are excited to see how he plays for his club which could lead to an eventual call-up.
