Ciro Immobile (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃiro imˈmɔbile]; born 20 February 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Lazio and the Italian national team.

He began his career at Sorrento. In 2009 he was purchased by Juventus, and then loaned out to three different clubs before moving to Genoa in 2012. After a season with the club, he moved to Juventus' rivals Torino. At Torino, he won the Capocannoniere award as the top scorer in Serie A, where he scored 22 goals in 33 games. After his breakout season at Torino, he was sold to German club Borussia Dortmund for around €18 million, before moving to Sevilla in 2015. In 2016, he returned to Torino on loan, and was later sold to Lazio in July of that year.

Immobile made his debut for the Italian national team in 2014 and was included in the squad for 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016.

Born in Torre Annunziata, in the province of Naples, Immobile began his youth career in the football school "Torre Annunziata '88", before transferring to "Maria Rosa" and finally the youth team of Salernitana, where he, however, failed to emerge. He later joined Sorrento, with whom he scored 30 goals in the under-17 during the 2007–08 season, including a brace against Torino, impressing the observers of Juventus.
