Giovanni Crociata is an Italian central midfielder known for his technical quality and tactical intelligence, currently playing for Turkish club Erzurum BB. Born on August 11, 1997, the 28-year-old has built a career across Italy's professional leagues. A product of the renowned AC Milan youth academy, Crociata gained experience with loans and permanent moves to clubs like Cremonese and Pescara, where he honed his skills as a deep-lying playmaker or box-to-box midfielder. His ability to dictate tempo and break up play has been his calling card. While a Serie A title has eluded him, he has been a consistent performer in Serie B. Now testing himself abroad in Turkey, Crociata brings a composed Italian midfield style to his new team, valued at around €450,000 for his precise passing and game management.
