Gianluca Mancini, born 17 April 1996 (age 30), is an Italy international and an imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m) central defender for Roma, where he wears squad number 23. His current market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Atalanta in 2018-2019, when he scored five goals in 30 appearances. That spell helped push him on, but Roma has become the main body of his career rather than just the next stop.
Across eight seasons with Roma, Mancini has made 251 league appearances and scored 16 league goals. Those are the sort of totals built by a defender trusted often, not occasionally admired from a distance. In 2026-2027 he remains part of the first-team picture, with nine Serie A appearances and four in the Champions League, making 13 appearances in all competitions for the club.
He has also remained involved with Italy this season, making six appearances in World Cup qualifiers and scoring twice, along with two Nations League appearances. Mancini’s career is now firmly shaped by Roma: a long-serving, still relevant defender with substantial domestic and international experience.
