Club career

Early career

Born in Cremona, Romagnoli joined Milan from Cremonese in January 2007, shortly before turning 17. ^[2] Throughout his time in the club's youth system, he has been a member of the under-17 squad who won the Campionato Nazionale Allievi in 2007, ^[3] as well as the captain of the under-20 side who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2010, 25 years after their last success. ^{[4] [5]}

During the 2009–10 season, Romagnoli also started being selected for the first-team. ^[5] In particular, he was named on the bench for a league match against Palermo, though he did not come on. ^[6]

Foggia

In order to gain some first team experience, Romagnoli was loaned out to Prima Divisione club Foggia for the 2010–11 season. ^[7] He made his official debut for the club in the first game of the Coppa Italia Lega Pro group stage against L'Aquila — which Foggia won 2–1 – on 14 August 2010. ^[8] The next week, in the first league game of the season, he also scored his maiden goal with a header from a corner. ^[9]

Pescara

On 8 July 2011, after the end of the loan to the Foggia, he moved from Milan to the Serie B team Pescara on a co-ownership deal. ^[10]

Parma

On 24 June 2022, Romagnoli signed with Parma. ^[11]

Lecce

On 31 January 2023, Romagnoli joined Lecce in Serie A. ^[12]

International career
