Pietro Pellegri

Pietro Pellegri (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpjɛːtro pelˈleːɡri]; born 17 March 2001) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club AC Milan, on loan from Monaco. He represents the Italy national team.

In 2016, at the age of 15 years and 280 days, Pellegri joined Amedeo Amadei as the joint-youngest player to appear in Serie A. It was surpassed by Wisdom Amey in May 2021 at the age of 15 years and 274 days.

Club Career

Genoa

Born in Genoa, Pellegri is a youth product of the Genoa youth academy. On 22 December 2016, he made his debut with the senior team in Serie A in a 1–0 away loss against Torino, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Tomas Rincon. At the age of 15 years and 280 days, he equalled the record as the youngest ever Serie A debutant, held by Roma's Amedeo Amadei since 1937 (Wisdom Amey would later surpass this record on his debut for Bologna in 2021). In doing so he also became the first player born in the 21st century to appear in Serie A, and the second player born in the 2000s to make his Italian top-flight debut after Moise Kean. On 28 May, he scored his first Serie A goal in a 3–2 away loss against Roma, becoming the first player born in the 21st century to ever score in Serie A, and the third youngest goalscorer ever in the Italian top flight, after Amadei and Gianni Rivera.

On 17 September 2017, he became the first 16-year-old to score twice in a single major European league game in a 3–2 home loss to Lazio; his brace also made him the youngest player ever in Serie A to have managed to do so.

Monaco

On 27 January 2018, Pellegri signed with Monaco for a reported fee of €25 million, the second largest transfer fee for a 16-year-old. He made his Monaco debut on 16 February in a 4–0 home win against Dijon in Ligue 1, coming on for the final four minutes in place of Keita Balde. At 16 years, 10 months and 30 days, he became the youngest league player in the club's history, breaking Kyl
