Historically, Inter’s youth sector has always been an excellent source of talented goalkeepers who, over time, have been able to grow and build important careers, establishing themselves as some of the best players of their generation.

The most recent in chronological order from this list of young goalkeepers shaped by Inter is Alessandro Calligaris, a class 2005 end defender who in the Primavera 1 championship has been showing great things and is ready to also receive his first call-up to Simone Inzaghi’s team for the next Serie A match against Fiorentina, due to the injury of Raffaele Di Gennaro. Let’s discover more about his profile.

Who is Alessandro Calligaris

Alessandro Calligaris was born in Udine on March 7, 2005, and he made his first soccer moves with a local amateur team, the Friulian Donatello. Later in 2019 – at just 14 years old – the talented goalkeeper moved to Inter and began to gradually establish himself as one of the most promising end defenders in the always flourishing nerazzurri youth team.

Now, he has been a stable member of the Primavera squad for over two years and has increasingly begun to earn himself more space in the U19 nerazzurri line-up. This year, he has so far made 12 appearances in the championship with 5 clean sheets and one in the Youth League.
