Club career

A Palermo youth product, Corona made his senior debut for the Rosanero in 2021 during a Serie C league game against Turris. [3] He was successively loaned out to Torino in August 2021, playing exclusively for the Under-19 team before heading back to Palermo by the end of the season. [4]

In August 2023, Corona left Palermo again, this time to join Empoli on another loan deal. [5] He almost exclusively played for the Under-19 team, except for a lone four-minute appearance in a Serie A league game against Hellas Verona on 15 January 2024. [6]

In August 2024, after returning from his Empoli loan, Corona agreed a contract extension until 30 June 2027 with Palermo, and was successively loaned out to Serie C club Pontedera. [7] With Pontedera, Corona finally succeeded in playing regularly and making it to the spotlight, amassing a total ten goals in the regular season plus another one in the promotion playoffs. [8]

After his positive campaign at Pontedera, Palermo, under new head coach Filippo Inzaghi, called back the player to join the pre-season training camp, scoring four goals in the first friendly game. [9]

Personal life

He is the son of former Serie A striker Giorgio Corona. [2]
