Gabriel André Joseph Charpentier (born 17 May 1999) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ekstraklasa club Cracovia.
Career
After being released from French top flight club Nantes, Charpentier decided to seek a move abroad because he thought "that in France, the path is a little more difficult to get there. Football is not easy".[1][2]
For the 2019 season, he signed for Spartaks Jūrmala in Latvia, despite being "really apprehensive at the start".[1][2] Later that season, another French player joined the team, which boosted his confidence and motivation.[2]
In 2020, Charpentier signed for Genoa in the Italian Serie A, before being loaned to Reggina in the Serie B.[3][4]
On 1 February 2021, Charpentier moved to Serie B side Ascoli, on a loan deal until the end of the season.[5]
On 28 July 2021 he went to Frosinone on loan.[6] He had a great season with Frosinone, scoring ten goals in the league.
On 30 August 2022, Charpentier signed with Parma.[7] In 2024, he won the Serie B and automatic promotion to Serie A with his team.[8]
On 8 September 2025, Charpentier permanently joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Cracovia on a season-long contract, with a one-year extension option.[9]
International career
Charpentier was born in the Republic of the Congo to a French father and Congolese mother.[1] He made himself available to play for the Congo national team in June 2022.[10] He debuted for the Congo in a 2–1 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification loss to South Sudan on 23 March 2023.[11]
