Salvatore Sirigu (Italian pronunciation: [salvaˈtore ˈsiriɡu]; born 12 January 1987) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Spanish club CA Osasuna on loan from Paris Saint-Germain and for the Italian national team.
Having begun his career with Palermo, he moved to PSG in 2011. Twice voted the Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year, his honours at the club include four consecutive league titles, and all four domestic competitions in both the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons.
Since 2010 Sirigu has been a regular member of the Italian national team, and was selected for major tournaments such as UEFA Euro 2012, 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2016, as well as the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Born in Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy, Sirigu started his football career in Venezia's youth system playing as a midfielder. He was known for his powerful back heels which he used to take penalty kicks. He had been training as an attacker for a local amateur side, Puri e Forti, at 11 years old, when coaches concluded that his asthma condition would hinder him too much as an outfield player. Instead, observing Sirigu’s unusually large hands, they told him to have a go in goal.
