Daniele Ghilardi is an Italian central defender with Roma, born on 6 January 2003 (age 23). He wears squad number 87 and is valued at around £7m by Transfermarkt.
His clearest senior season so far came at Sampdoria in 2023–24, when he scored two goals in 37 league appearances. For a young centre-half, that was a proper body of work rather than a handful of cameos dressed up as progress.
At Roma in 2026–27, Ghilardi has made eight Serie A appearances and scored one goal, with two Champions League appearances also on his record. Across all competitions for Roma, he has 14 appearances and one goal. His career record also includes four UEFA Under-21 qualifying appearances.
Ghilardi’s career is still taking shape: a productive league season at Sampdoria, followed by first-team involvement at Roma and some European exposure. He remains a developing defender with enough senior football behind him to be judged on more than promise.
