Raoul Bellanova (born 17 May 2000) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right wing-back for Serie A club Torino and the Italy national team.
In July 2019, Bellanova was officially presented as a Bordeaux player.[5] On 10 August 2019, he made his debut in senior football, starting in the opening match of the 2019–20 Ligue 1 season against Angers.[6] Having made several positioning mistakes that led to three goals from his right flank, he was subbed off 63 minutes into the game by the team's coach Paulo Sousa.[7][better source needed]
On 30 January 2020, Bellanova joined Atalanta on a 1.5-year loan with an option to purchase.[8] He made his Serie A debut on 14 July in a 6–2 victory against Brescia.[9]
On 24 September 2020, Atalanta loaned him to Serie B club Pescara.[10]
On 31 August 2021, he joined Cagliari on loan with an option-to-buy.[11] On 31 May 2022, Cagliari exercised their option to sign the player permanently.[12]
On 6 July 2022, Inter Milan announced the signing of Bellanova on loan from Cagliari for the 2022–23 season.[13]
In October 2017, Bellanova represented Italy national under-19 football team in the UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification.[15] He debuted in a 4-0 victory against Moldova on 4 October.[citation needed] In November 2018, Bellanova played for Italy under-20 national team in a match against Germany.[16]
On 24 March 2024, Bellanova debuted for the Italian senior squad in friendly match against Ecuador.[17]
Bellanova is a physically strong, quick, fast, offensive-minded right-back with good defensive positioning and reading of the game. Besides his regular position of a full-back or wing-back on the right flank, he can also play as a centre-back (in both, three and four-player defensive line) or as a wide midfielder in a 3–5–2 formation.[18]
