Biography
Cristian Volpato (born 15 November 2003) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Serie A club Sassuolo and the Australia national team.
Early life Volpato was born in Camperdown, a suburb of the Inner West in Sydney, New South Wales. He attended the prestigious rugby school St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill. Volpato is of Italian descent by way of his Italian-born grandparents on both sides, with both his parents being born in Australia.
Youth career Volpato first started playing football in Abbotsford, a suburb of Sydney, where he was a prolific goalscorer. This allowed him to take his first steps into professional football, at Andrea Icardi's AC Milan Soccer School, Sydney FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers academy. He soon earned a trial in the AS Roma Youth Sector through Fabrizio Piccareta. After a few months in Rome where he showed his attacking abilities, the young footballer signed a three-year contract with the club from the Italian capital in January 2020.
