Bryan Cristante, born on 3 March 1995 (age 31), is an Italy international midfielder whose career has settled most firmly at Roma. A defensive midfielder by trade, he wears the No 4 shirt and has a current market value of around £6m, according to Transfermarkt.
His pre-Roma years were important without taking over the story. The clearest sign of what he could become came at Atalanta in 2017-18, when he scored nine league goals in 36 appearances. For a player often associated with structure and covering ground, that season gave his career a useful jolt.
Roma have been the main body of the work. Across eight seasons he has made 269 league appearances and scored 18 league goals, becoming a long-running first-team presence rather than a passing option. That matters more than any neat label about his role; he has been used, trusted, and kept around.
In 2025-26 he remains relevant in the side, with 37 Serie A appearances and two goals, plus one Coppa Italia outing and eight in the Europa League, taking him to 46 Roma appearances in all competitions for the campaign. He has also made five appearances for Italy in European World Cup qualifying.
Cristante’s career is essentially that of a steady Italy midfielder whose best and longest spell has come at Roma. The Atalanta season showed his range, but Rome has supplied the volume and continuity.
