Our subject for today is the young Italian shot-stopper, Massimo Pessina. Born in Italy on the festive day of December 25th, 2007, he now, aged 18, reliably guards the net for Bologna. Pessina is a rather average size for a custodian of the sticks, standing at 5ft 10in (1.8m), and tipping the scales at 12st 3lb (78kg). He proudly dons the number 25 jersey, a fitting choice considering his Christmas birth date.
At the time of writing, the value of this promising goalkeeper in the bustling market of football talent stands approximately at £850,000, according to the fine folk over at Transfermarkt. Though this figure may seem modest in the land of skyscraping transfer fees, it does speak volumes of the potential that Pessina holds.
During the 2025 - 2026 season, this young prodigy got the taste of Serie A action by featuring in one match, though his outing was from the bench. It is indeed a promising start, and we look forward to watching Pessina's career develop.
