Antonio Arena

Antonio Arena of Roma was born in Sydney, Australia on 10 February 2009 (age 17).

Antonio Arena is an Italian striker, born on 10 February 2009 (age 17), who is on the books at Roma. He wears squad number 68 and is still at the early end of his senior career.

His first-team involvement with Roma has so far been limited but notable enough for a teenager: two Serie A appearances in 2025-2026, plus one Coppa Italia outing in which he scored. That gives him three senior appearances and one goal across all competitions.

His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, Arena’s career is a Roma development story: a young forward beginning to collect senior minutes rather than a player with a settled first-team record.

Arena was used only on the fringes of Roma's Serie A squad in 2025-26, making two substitute appearances without a start or a goal. The stronger signal came in the Coppa Italia, where he scored in his only appearance, but the league numbers showed a 17-year-old striker still being introduced cautiously rather than relied on for regular minutes.

Arena's senior pathway was still very short: a trainee move to Pescara in 2023, then a paid transfer to Roma in 2025. With only a handful of first-team appearances recorded, the trajectory read as a prospect step-up rather than an established goalscorer changing clubs.

The transfer record pointed to clear upward movement. Roma paid €870,000 to take Arena from Pescara in July 2025 after his trainee arrival at Pescara two years earlier, and his €1.00m market value broadly matched the profile of a young player bought for development rather than immediate output.
