Ciro Immobile, born on 20 February 1990 (age 36), is an Italian striker whose career took time to settle before it found its obvious home. His early senior years were shaped by loan football, useful rather than glamorous, giving him the regular matches a young centre-forward needs before anyone starts taking the goal return seriously.
That development eventually fed into a career dominated by Lazio. Across eight seasons with the Rome club, Immobile made 270 league appearances and scored 169 league goals. That is not a footnote spell dressed up by sentiment; it is the body of the work.
His peak league season came in 2019-20, when he scored 36 goals in 37 appearances for Lazio. It was the sort of return that strips away most of the usual debate around a striker’s value. The current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Immobile’s career has had its movements and earlier staging posts, but Lazio is where it makes clearest sense. He became a prolific, long-serving striker there, with one exceptional scoring season and a sustained league record that defines the profile plainly enough.
