Gianluca Mancini, born on 17 April 1996 (age 30), is an Italian central defender for Roma. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he wears squad number 23 and is valued at around £13m by Transfermarkt.
Before Roma, his sharpest league season came at Atalanta in 2018-2019, when he scored five goals in 30 appearances. That was enough to mark him out as more than a stopper, though Roma is where the career has properly settled.
Across eight seasons with Roma, Mancini has made 250 league appearances and scored 16 league goals. That volume says plenty. He has become a long-serving presence in their defence rather than a passing name on the team sheet.
In 2026-2027, he has made eight Serie A appearances and three in the Champions League for Roma. He has also remained involved with Italy, making six appearances in World Cup qualifying, with two goals, and two more in the Nations League.
Mancini’s career is built around Roma: a durable Italian centre-half whose best years have been spent there, with Atalanta providing the launchpad and international football adding another layer to the record.
