Club career

Atalanta

Conti was born and raised in

Atalanta's youth academy where he would play together with Mattia Caldara and Roberto Gagliardini for over a decade.[3]

In July 2013, Conti was loaned to

Nocerina. Conti made 16 league appearances, helping his team achieve promotion to Serie B
.

On 10 July 2014, Conti moved to a fellow second-tier team

Virtus Lanciano, in a season-long loan deal.[5] Conti made 24 league appearances while his team finished 14th out of 22. In the summer of 2015, he returned to Atalanta and was included in the first team squad for the upcoming Serie A
season.

On 30 September 2015, Conti signed a new contract with Atalanta until July 2019.

Verona.[8]

Conti managed to score eight goals in 33 appearances during the 2016–17 Serie A season, setting a personal record for scoring. His main playing position was a right

wing-back in a 3–4–3 formation.[9]

AC Milan

On 7 July 2017, Conti joined

Crotone on 20 August 2017.[12]

On 15 September 2017, during Milan's training session, Conti suffered an injury to his left

reserves, Conti suffered a recurring ACL injury that sidelined him for the rest of the year.[13][14]

On 22 December 2018, Conti made his highly anticipated return to the pitch, coming on as a substitute for

Fiorentina.[15]
Before the end of the season, he appeared in 14 more games (mostly as a substitute) and made three assists.

Despite the two unsuccessful seasons in Milan, Conti declined transfer offers from

Sassuolo.[17][18] On 29 October 2020, Conti returned to the pitch as a substitute in the home Europa League game against Sparta Prague and in the reverse fixture on 10 December 2020 returned to the starting line up for the first time since his summer injury; as several senior players were given a rest, Conti served as the team's captain for the first time in his Milan career.[19]

Parma

On 21 January 2021, Conti joined Parma on a six-month loan deal containing an obligatory purchase clause.[20] However, as Parma finished the season on the bottom of the table and were relegated to Serie B, the clause was not triggered.

Sampdoria

On 10 January 2022, Conti moved to

Sampdoria.[21]

International career

On 12 August 2015, Conti made his debut with the Italy U21 team, in a friendly match against Hungary.

In June 2017, he was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Luigi Di Biagio.[22] Italy were eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals on 27 June, following a 3–1 defeat, although Conti did not appear during the match.[23][24]

In August 2017, he was called up to the senior squad by Gian Piero Ventura 2018 World Cup qualification match against Spain on 2 September and, on 5 September against Israel.[25] He made his senior international debut in Italy's 1–0 home win over Israel, but was forced off early due to injury and replaced by Davide Zappacosta.[26]

Style of play

Conti can play as a right-back or a right

crossing but also has a knack for getting into the box and scoring himself. His great stamina allows him to make attacking runs and rapidly get back into defense when needed.[27]
