Club career edit
Pisilli began playing football with a local club Helios, before moving to Roma at the age of eight and working his way up their youth categories.[3][4] In November 2022, he signed a professional contract with the club until 2026.[5]
Having originally been assigned to their under-19 team, he made his professional debut for Roma on 6 May 2023, as a late substitute in a 2–0 Serie A home loss against Inter Milan.[6] In April of the same year, he was part of Roma's under-19 squad that won the Coppa Italia Primavera.[7][8]
On 14 December 2023, Pisilli made his debut in a European competition, coming on as a substitute for Andrea Belotti in the 72nd minute of a UEFA Europa League group stage match against Sheriff Tiraspol; he went on to score his first professional goal in the injury time of the same game, helping Roma gain a 3–0 victory.[9][10]
International career edit
Pisilli is a youth international for Italy. In May 2023, he was included by head coach Carmine Nunziata in the Italian squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina,[11] where the Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final match.[12][13]
In June of the same year, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta,[14] where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.[15][16]
Style of play edit
Pisilli is a complete midfielder who can contribute offensively with goals and assists, and also in the defensive phase. A constant presence in Roma's youth sides, he is able to withstand blows on the pitch and has uncommon tactical intelligence that helps him break down plays. His speed of thought helps him with interceptions and recoveries.[4]
