Filippo Melegoni (born 18 February 1999) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Reggiana on loan from Genoa.
Melegoni was born in Bergamo, Italy, and began his career at local Serie A side Atalanta. A midfielder, he states that his playing style is modelled on his childhood idols Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham. [1]
Melegoni played at various age levels of the Atalanta youth sector, including making 24 appearances for the under-17 side, scoring six goals. He eventually began to play in the full Primavera side in 2016, and established himself as a mainstay in the centre of midfield. After being named on the Atalanta first-team bench for several games, Melegoni was placed in the starting line-up for the match against Sampdoria on 22 January 2017. He played the first half before being replaced at the interval, in an eventual 1–0 win. [2]
On 11 August 2018, Melegoni joined Serie B club Pescara on loan until 30 June 2019. [3] On 23 July 2019, the loan was renewed for an additional year. [4]
On 16 September 2020, Melegoni joined Genoa on a two-year loan deal with a conditional obligation to buy. [5] [6]
In August 2022, Melegoni was loaned to Belgian club Standard Liège on a one-year long deal. [7]
On 1 September 2023, Melegoni was loaned by Reggiana. [8]
Melegoni has been capped by Italy at under-15, [9] under-16, [10] under-17 levels, [11] and is a current member of the under-19 side. [12] His first international call-up came in 2014 for a friendly match against Belgium. He progressed quickly up to the under-17 team, where he was eventually made captain. He also scored his first international goal whilst playing for Bruno Tedino's side, in a 3–1 loss against the Netherlands, [13] and went on to make 29 appearances in total. He received his first call-up to the under-19 side, bypassing under-18 level, by Roberto Baronio for the match against Croatia. [14] His first goal for the under-19 team came in his second game; a 2–1 loss against the Czech Republic. [15]
On 3 September 2020, he made his debut with the Italy U21 side, scoring Italy's second goal in a 2–1 friendly home win against Slovenia. [16]
