Federico Bernardeschi is an Italian right winger, born on 16 February 1994 (age 32), now with Bologna and wearing the number 10 shirt. His market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
The early spell that still stands out is his loan at Crotone in 2013-14. He made 38 league appearances and scored 12 goals, the most productive league season of his career. It was a proper development year rather than a polite education: regular football, responsibility, and enough end product to move him beyond the promising-young-player category.
Bernardeschi’s career since then has been that of an established wide attacker rather than a simple touchline runner. His best work has tended to come when he can drift inside, carry the ball, and affect play in the final third. There has always been a certain polish to him, though not always the ruthless consistency that turns tidy players into unavoidable ones.
At Bologna in 2026-27, he has made 15 appearances in all competitions and scored five goals. His European work has been the clearest part of that contribution, with five goals in 13 Europa League appearances, alongside outings in Serie A and the Supercoppa.
Bernardeschi’s career has run from a productive early loan at Crotone to a senior role at Bologna, with enough quality and experience to remain a useful attacking option. It is a solid, well-travelled career, built more on technical ability than noise.
