Daniele Montevago (born 18 March 2003) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie C Group B club Virtus Entella on loan from Sampdoria.
Born in Palermo, Montevago started playing football at three years old, [2] before joining the local grassroots football school Stella d'Oriente. [2] [3] [4] In 2017, he entered Palermo's youth sector, where he spent two seasons before the club ultimately faced bankruptcy; then, in 2019, he joined Sampdoria. [2] [3] [5]
Following his performances for the Blucerchiati's youth teams, Montevago started training with the first team during the second half of the 2021-22 season, under manager Marco Giampaolo, and received his first call-ups to Serie A match-day squads. [2] [6] In the summer of 2022, the forward extended his contract with Sampdoria until 2025. [6]
In the following campaign, Montevago kept training with the senior squad, under the new coach Dejan Stanković; he subsequently made his professional debut on 29 October 2022, coming in a substitute for Manolo Gabbiadini at the 78th minute of the 3–0 Serie A loss against Inter Milan. [4] [7] On 12 January 2023, he made his first start in a professional game, together with team-mate Flavio Paoletti, in a 1–0 Coppa Italia loss to Fiorentina. [8]
On 1 September 2023, Montevago joined Serie C club Gubbio on loan. [9] On 23 September, he scored his first professional goal in a 1–0 league win over Vis Pesaro. [10]
On 11 January 2024, he joined fellow third-tier side Virtus Entella on loan until the end of the season. [11] [12]
Montevago has represented Italy at youth international level. After taking part in training camps with the under-15 and under-16 national teams, [13] [14] he went on to play for the under-20 national team. [15]
In May 2023, he was included by head coach Carmine Nunziata in the Italian squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina, [16] where the Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final match. [17] [18]
Montevago is a centre forward, who has been regarded for his physical strength and his finishing. [3]
Although he has been compared to Christian Vieri, [2] [3] he has actually named Duván Zapata and Fabio Quagliarella as his main sources of inspiration. [3] [5]
