Gianluca Caprari (born 30 July 1993) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Monza and the Italy national team.

Club career

Roma

Born in Rome, Italian capital, Caprari started his career at Atletico 2000.[1] He then joined esordienti team of A.S. Roma in 2003. He played for Roma's Allievi Nazionali team at 2010 Torneo Città di Arco, which beat Fiorentina in the final.[2]

Caprari made his first team debut on 8 March 2011, in 2010–11 UEFA Champions League round of 16. He replaced Simone Perrotta in the last minute; his team lost to Shakhtar Donetsk with a 0–3 score.[3]

In the next season he played both legs of the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League play-off round, losing to Slovan Bratislava. He played only one match in Serie A in 2011–12 season, substituting Totti in a 2–0 win over Chievo.

Pescara

In January 2012, Caprari was sent on loan to Serie B club Pescara[4] in order to allow him to play more first-team football. He scored three goals in 15 matches in 2011–12 season. The club also won promotion to Serie A.

In June 2012 Pescara purchased Caprari in a co-ownership deal for €1.2 million.[5][6] On 20 June 2013, Roma re-signed him for €2 million[7][8] by means of a player swap, with Giammario Piscitella and Matteo Politano moving to Pescara for €2 million.[9][10] Caprari played his first match of his second Roma career on 10 November 2013, against Sassuolo coming on as a substitute.

On 24 January 2014, Caprari returned to Pescara by swapped clubs with Piscitella (both were tagged for €1.5 million)[11][12]

On 27 June 2015, Roma bought back Politano for €601,000, with Caprari moving to Pescara outright for €125,000.[13][14]

Inter Milan and Sampdoria

On 8 July 2016, Caprari was sold to Inter Milan, in a deal involving Cristiano Biraghi moving the other way. He was sent back on loan to Pescara.[15]

Sampdoria

On 30 June 2017, Caprari joined fellow Serie A club Sampdoria.[16] On 4 November 2019, Gianluca Caprari came off the bench to score the only goal and a stoppage-time winner for Sampdoria against SPAL.[17]

Hellas Verona

On 31 August 2021, Caprari joined Hellas Verona on loan with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[20] During the 2021–22 season, he scored 12 goals and made 7 assists in the Serie A.[21]

Monza (loan)

On 21 July 2022, Caprari joined newly-promoted Serie A side Monza on a one-year loan, with a conditional obligation to buy.[21] He made his debut on 8 August, scoring a penalty in a 3–2 Coppa Italia win against Frosinone.[22] Caprari's first Serie A goal for Monza was a volley in a 3–0 away win to Sampdoria on 2 October.[23]
