Player Info

Gianluca Lapadula is a Peruvian international striker whose relentless work rate, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing have made him a national hero and a respected figure in European football. Currently leading the line for Spezia Calcio in Italy, Lapadula's unique story saw him represent Italy at youth level before committing to Peru, the birthplace of his mother. His professional career began in Italy's lower leagues with clubs like Parma and Teramo, where his goal-scoring exploits were impossible to ignore. A breakthrough move to Pescara, where he formed a devastating partnership, earned him a transfer to AC Milan. Although his time at Milan was brief, it was a dream realized. He then found consistent success at Genoa, becoming a fan favorite for his all-action style. His defining chapter, however, is with the Peruvian national team. Since his debut, "Lapagol" has been instrumental, being a key part of the squad that ended Peru's long World Cup drought by qualifying for the 2018 tournament in Russia. His honors include a Serie B title with Pescara and the incalculable honor of representing Peru at a World Cup. Known for his passionate celebrations and never-say-die attitude, Lapadula is the embodiment of a modern striker who fights for every ball. He remains Peru's talisman and a crucial player for Spezia.
