Spezia Calcio is pleased to announce the permanent acquisition of striker Gianluca Lapadula from Cagliari Calcio. The forward has signed a contract with the club until June 30, 2026.
Born in 1990, Lapadula's stats speak for themselves: 187 goals at club level, along with 10 goals in 40 appearances for the Peruvian national team. In Serie B? 59 goals and 22 assists in 106 regular season matches, with an even better average when considering the playoffs, where in 12 appearances he scored an impressive 9 goals!
A Torino native, Lapadula began his career with Pro Vercelli, Ivrea, Atletico Roma, and Ravenna before moving to San Marino, where he started to establish himself, scoring 24 goals in 35 appearances in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. He then moved on to Cesena, Frosinone, and Gorica, before the 2014/15 season where, playing for Teramo, he displayed his killer instinct again, scoring 21 goals in 38 appearances.
In the summer, Pescara called him up to Serie B, where Lapadula lived up to the expectations by becoming the league's top scorer with 27 goals, helping Pescara secure a return to Serie A. In the summer of 2016/17, Lapadula made another move, this time to a prestigious club in Milan, joining the Rossoneri. In Serie A, the Peruvian international proved his worth, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists in 27 appearances, while also winning the Italian Supercup that season. Over the following seasons, he continued to make an impact in Serie A with Genoa, Lecce, and Benevento, before joining Cagliari, where he played a key role in their promotion back to Serie A during the 2022/23 season.
Lapadula made his debut for the Italian national team in a friendly match against San Marino, where he scored three goals. In 2020, he accepted a call-up from the Peruvian national team, eventually wearing the captain’s armband on March 23, 2024, in a friendly against Nicaragua in Lima.
A complete forward, strong and determined, the new Aquilotti striker is ready to serve coach D'Angelo, wearing the number 10 shirt!
Welcome, Gianluca!
