Gianluca Scamacca - All Goals in Serie A
Gianluca Scamacca's latest club is Atalanta BC, where he joined on a permanent deal on August 7, 2023, from West Ham United for a reported fee of £22.5 million plus add-ons. He wears the number 9 jersey for the club and is under contract until June 30, 2027. His return to Italy after a spell in the Premier League has seen him become a crucial figure for the Bergamo-based side.
Scamacca is a tall, right-footed center-forward known for his physical presence, powerful shot, and ability to score from both inside and outside the penalty area. Despite his height (1.95m), he is a technical player with good flair and a solid first touch. He is adept at dropping deep to link up play with teammates, sometimes operating like a second striker or even a false nine, which allows him to participate in the build-up of attacking plays. He has also been praised for his strong defensive work rate.
His debut season with Atalanta in 2023-2024 was largely successful. He scored 19 goals and provided 8 assists across all competitions in 44 appearances, including 12 goals in Serie A and 6 in the Europa League. He was a key contributor to Atalanta's triumphant Europa League campaign, where they emerged as champions. His performances showcased his ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic attacking system.
The 2024-2025 season, however, has been significantly impacted by injuries. Scamacca sustained a cruciate ligament tear during the pre-season, which kept him sidelined for a significant period. He made a brief return, playing one Serie A match, but then suffered a hamstring injury in February 2025, which has kept him out for the remainder of the season. As of June 27, 2025, his return is expected around July 16, 2025.
Due to his injuries, his contributions in the 2024-2025 season have been minimal. He has only played 1 Serie A match for 5 minutes and has 0 goals and assists in the league. He also had appearances in the UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Champions League Group Stage, and Coppa Italia, but was notably injured for many of these fixtures, as indicated by his "Cruciate ligament tear" and "Hamstring injury" statuses in match reports.
Despite his injury-plagued 2024-2025 season, there have been rumors linking Scamacca with a potential move to AS Roma, especially with his former manager Gian Piero Gasperini taking the helm there. While these are just rumors and his immediate future remains with Atalanta, a reunion with Gasperini could be an attractive option for Scamacca once he fully recovers, given their successful working relationship.
Atalanta views Scamacca as a vital part of their squad, evident from the significant investment they made to bring him in. His ability to lead the line and score crucial goals, as demonstrated in his first season, makes him a valuable asset. The focus for both the player and the club will be on his complete recovery and regaining full fitness to replicate his impressive form from the 2023-2024 season.
