Alessandro Florenzi (Italian pronunciation: [alesˈsandro floˈrɛntsi]; born 11 March 1991) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or full-back for Roma and the Italy national team.
Florenzi started his professional club career with Roma in 2011, and has remained with the side ever since, aside from a loan spell with Crotone during the 2011–12 season. At international level he was a member of the Italy national under-21 football team that finished second in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, and also represented the Italy senior side at UEFA Euro 2016.
A product of Roma youth academy, Florenzi made his Serie A debut in a 3–1 win against Sampdoria on 22 May 2011, replacing Francesco Totti as a substitute.
During the summer of 2011, Florenzi was sent on loan to Serie B club Crotone. He made his debut on 27 August 2011, scoring their goal in a 2–1 home defeat against Livorno. On 22 June 2012, Crotone excised the option in the loan contract to buy half of the registration rights for €250,000. However, on 6 July, Roma bought back half of the registration rights for €1.25 million.
Florenzi made his first appearance of the 2012–13 Serie A season as a second-half substitute in the 2–2 draw against Catania on 26 August 2012. He made his first start in the 3–1 victory against Internazionale the following week, also scoring his first-ever goal for Roma. Florenzi ended his first full season with the Roma first team, making 36 Serie A appearances and scoring three goals. On 31 July 2013, Florenzi scored and assisted a goal in a 3–1 over the MLS All-stars in the 2013 MLS All-Star Game, and was named the MLS All-Star Game MVP.
