Mattia Caldara (born 5 May 1994) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Atalanta, on loan from Juventus, and the Italy national under-21 team.
Born in Bergamo, Caldara began his career with hometown club Atalanta, entering in the youth categories. He played for the Primavera team from 2011 to 2014, (2013–14 season as an overage player), and on 5 May 2014, Caldara made his professional debut coming on as a second-half substitute in a Serie A match against Catania.
On 3 July 2014, he was loaned to Serie B side Trapani to gain more experience.
On 10 July 2015, Caldara was signed by Serie B side Cesena on a temporary deal, with an option to purchase.
After impressing on his return to Atalanta, Caldara cemented a first-team place. On 12 January 2017, Juventus announced that they had signed Caldara to a four-and-a-half-year contract for an initial transfer fee of €15 million, rising to a potential €25 million with add-ons. The deal also included a free loan which meant that he will remain at Atalanta until 30 June 2018.
