Club career

Inter Milan

At the age of 17 on 8 December 2016, Pinamonti made his senior debut for Inter Milan against Sparta Prague in the last match of 2016–17 UEFA Europa League group stage. He was selected as a starter by coach Stefano Pioli and delivered a well-received performance, helping Inter to finish their European campaign with a 2–1 victory. [4] On 12 February 2017, Pinamonti made his Serie A debut in a 2–0 victory against Empoli at San Siro. [5] [6] He latter dubbed his debut as "indescribable". [7] In the 2016–17 season, Pinamonti also won the Primavera title with the U19 youth team. [8]

In the 2017–18 season, Pinamonti became a member of the first team [9] [10] but continued to play with Internzionale's U19 team in the UEFA Youth League. He made his season's first appearance on 12 December 2017, playing as a starter in the Coppa Italia match against Serie C club Pordenone.

Loan moves to Frosinone, Genoa, and Empoli

On 17 August 2018, Pinamonti joined Serie A club Frosinone on loan until 30 June 2019. [11] He scored his first goal in Serie A with Frosinone on 28 October against SPAL. [12]

On 30 June 2019, Pinamonti joined Genoa on loan with an obligation to buy. [13] On 18 September 2020, his contract was bought back by Inter Milan. [14] On 25 August 2021, he joined Empoli on a season-long loan. [15]

Sassuolo

On 11 August 2022, Pinamonti joined Sassuolo on loan with an obligation to buy for a reported fee of €20 million, with a subsequent contract valid until June 2027. [16] [17]

On 16 August 2024, Pinamonti returned to Genoa on loan with an option to buy. [18]

International career

In January 2019, Pinamonti was called up for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, but forced to withdraw due to a knee injury he suffered at the U-20 FIFA World Cup earlier that year. [19] On 16 November 2022, Pinamonti made his senior team debut in a 3–1 friendly victory against Albania.

Personal life

Pinamonti is a lifelong Inter fan and has cited Mauro Icardi as his favourite player and role model. [7]
