[9] [11] Cancellieri made his Serie A debut only one week later against Sassuolo, coming on as a substitute, before starting his first Serie A game six days later, against Inter Milan, the reigning champions. [12]

[15] On the final matchday of the 2023–24 season, he scored a goal and provided an assist in a 2–1 victory over Roma, securing Empoli's survival in the top tier. [16]
