**Bryan Cristante** [Cavaliere OMRI](/source/Order_of_Merit_of_the_Italian_Republic) (born 3 March 1995) is an Italian professional [footballer](/source/Association_footballer) who plays as a [defensive midfielder](/source/Defensive_midfielder) for [Serie A](/source/Serie_A) club [Roma](/source/AS_Roma), where he is the [captain](/source/Captain_(association_football)), and the [Italy national team](/source/Italy_national_football_team).

## Early life

Cristante was born to a Canadian father of [Italian descent](/source/Italian_Canadians)[3][4] and an Italian mother in [San Vito al Tagliamento](/source/San_Vito_al_Tagliamento), Italy.[5][6] He grew up in the district of San Giovanni in [Casarsa della Delizia](/source/Casarsa_della_Delizia).[5] Cristante's parents named him Bryan in honour of English singer [Bryan Ferry](/source/Bryan_Ferry).[6] He holds dual [Canadian](/source/Canadian_nationality_law)–[Italian](/source/Italian_nationality_law) citizenship.[7]

## Club career

### Early career

Cristante was born in [San Vito al Tagliamento](/source/San_Vito_al_Tagliamento) but raised in the nearby [San Giovanni di Casarsa](/source/Casarsa_della_Delizia), where he started playing football as a child.[8] He moved on to Liventina Gorghense, an [amateur](/source/Amateur) club in the [province of Treviso](/source/Province_of_Treviso), before joining [AC Milan](/source/A.C._Milan) in 2009.[9]

### AC Milan

Throughout his time in [AC Milan's youth system](/source/A.C._Milan_Primavera) he was a member of the under-15 squad who won the *Campionato Giovanissimi Nazionali* in 2010,[10] scoring eight goals,[8] as well as a member of the under-17 side who won the *Campionato Allievi Nazionali* in 2011.[11]

He made his professional debut for the club on 6 December 2011, aged 16 years and 278 days, coming on as a substitute for [Robinho](/source/Robinho) in a [UEFA Champions League](/source/UEFA_Champions_League) group stage match against [Viktoria Plzeň](/source/FC_Viktoria_Plze%C5%88), which ended in a 2–2 draw.[12] He thus became the youngest ever Milan player to feature in a Champions League game and third youngest overall.[13][14]

Cristante was elected as the best player at the Torneo di Viareggio 2013. On 4 March 2013, Cristante signed his first professional contract, which would have kept him at Milan until 2018. He joined the first team squad at the start of the 2013–14 season.[15]

On 10 November 2013, he made his debut in [Serie A](/source/Serie_A), coming on as a substitute for [Kaká](/source/Kak%C3%A1) in a match against [Chievo Verona](/source/A.C._Chievo_Verona), which ended in a 0–0 draw.[16] He scored his first goal for the club on 6 January 2014, set up by the Brazilian in a 3–0 victory at the [San Siro](/source/San_Siro) against [Atalanta](/source/Atalanta_B.C.).

### Benfica

On 1 September 2014, Cristante signed a five-year contract with Portuguese champions [Benfica](/source/S.L._Benfica)[17][18] for a transfer fee of €4.84 million.[19]

On 12 December, he debuted in a 0–5 [Primeira Liga](/source/Primeira_Liga) victory at [Vitória Setúbal](/source/Vit%C3%B3ria_F.C.).[20] On 14 January, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 win against [Arouca](/source/F.C._Arouca) in the [third round](/source/2014%E2%80%9315_Ta%C3%A7a_da_Liga#Third_round) of the [league cup](/source/Ta%C3%A7a_da_Liga).[21]

### Atalanta

Cristante joined Atalanta on loan from Benfica in January 2017; Atalanta later bought him outright in summer 2018 for the €4 million release clause,[22] in a total fee of €9.5 million, with Benfica keeping 15% of Cristante's economic rights.[23]

### Roma

On 8 June 2018, Cristante was immediately loaned out to [Roma](/source/A.S._Roma) in a one-year loan deal from Atalanta for a fee of €5 million with a compulsory purchase option for an additional €15 million and a further €10 million in performance-related bonuses.[24][25] On 28 February 2019, Roma made the deal permanent.[26]

On 22 February 2026, on his 350th Roma appearance, Cristante scored in a home game against [Cremonese](/source/US_Cremonese).[27]

## International career

Prior to representing the Italian senior side, Cristante also represented Italy at various youth levels. He was initially also eligible to play for [Canada](/source/Canada_men's_national_soccer_team) at international level, as he holds a Canadian passport through his father.[28][29]

On 10 November 2016, he made his debut with the [Italy U21](/source/Italy_national_under-21_football_team) team, in a friendly match lost 3–2 against [England](/source/England_national_under-21_football_team) in [Southampton](/source/Southampton).

Cristante was called up to the [senior Italy national team](/source/Italy_national_football_team) for the side's [2018 World Cup qualifying matches](/source/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA)) against [Macedonia](/source/Macedonia_national_football_team) and [Albania](/source/Albania_national_football_team) on 6 and 9 October 2017, respectively.[30] He made his senior international debut on 6 October, coming on as a substitute in the second half of an eventual 1–1 home draw against Macedonia.[29][31] Cristante scored his first goal for the national team on 7 October 2020, the first goal of a 6–0 home win against [Moldova](/source/Moldova_national_football_team) in a friendly match.[32]

In June 2021, he was included in Italy's squad for [UEFA Euro 2020](/source/UEFA_Euro_2020) by manager [Roberto Mancini](/source/Roberto_Mancini).[33] On 11 July, Cristante won the European Championship with Italy following a 3–2 [penalty shoot-out](/source/Penalty_shoot-out_(association_football)) victory over [England](/source/England_national_football_team) at [Wembley Stadium](/source/Wembley_Stadium) in the [final](/source/UEFA_Euro_2020_Final), after a 1–1 draw in [extra-time](/source/Overtime_(sports)); Cristante made a substitute appearance during the final, coming on for [Nicolò Barella](/source/Nicol%C3%B2_Barella) in the second half of regulation time, and played a role in helping Italy score the equalizing goal by setting up the goal of [Leonardo Bonucci](/source/Leonardo_Bonucci) following a corner kick.[34]

## Style of play

Cristante is known for his technical ability, vision, physicality, and versatility in central areas of the pitch, which allows him to win back possession and start attacking plays; moreover, he is adept with either foot and is also capable of making late attacking runs into the penalty area. While he is not known for his heading ability, his height also makes him effective in the air. Having started his senior career at Milan as a [deep-lying playmaker](/source/Deep-lying_playmaker) or a *[regista](/source/Regista)* in Italian, he successfully transitioned into an [attacking midfielder](/source/Midfielder#Attacking_midfielder), or a *[trequartista](/source/Trequartista)*, in the [3–4–1–2 formation](/source/Formation_(association_football)#3–4–1–2) employed by manager [Gian Piero Gasperini](/source/Gian_Piero_Gasperini) at Atalanta, which led him to score 15 times in just one and a half seasons for the club; he has also been used out [wide](/source/Midfielder#Winger) on occasion. However, at Roma, while mostly playing as an offensive–minded [central midfielder](/source/Midfielder#Central_midfielder), known as the *[mezzala](/source/Midfielder#Mezzala)* role in Italian football jargon, Cristante also began to be used as a [central defender](/source/Defender_(association_football)#Centre-back) in the middle of a back three, courtesy of his positional sense, as well as his ability to play out or carry the ball out from the back.[35][36][37][38][39]
