Daniele Sommariva (born 18 July 1997) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Genoa.

Coming through Genoa's youth sector, Sommariva started his senior career in 2016 at Nocerina in the Serie D, winning the honorific play-offs. In 2017 he moved to Bustese, before joining Monza in the Serie C, whom he helped gain promotion to the Serie B for the first time in 19 years. Sommariva joined Pescara in 2022.

Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Starting out his youth career at local club Multedo [it] aged nine, Sommariva signed for Genoa's youth team two years later.[1] He remained at their youth sector until 2016,[1] having played 39 games for their Primavera squad.[2]

On 1 August 2016, Sommariva joined Serie D club Nocerina.[3] He played 24 league games in the 2016–17 season,[4] winning the group G honorific play-offs.[1] On 12 July 2017, he moved to Bustese—also in the Serie D—playing 29 league games in 2017–18.[4]

Monza

[edit]

2018–2020: Serie C

[edit]

On 11 July 2018, Serie C club Monza announced the signing of Sommariva.[5] He made his debut for the club during the 2018–19 season,[6] on 11 November 2018, in a 1–1 league draw to Vis Pesaro.[7] Sommariva was Monza's goalkeeper for the Coppa Italia Serie C,[1] where they finished runners-up after losing the finals to Viterbese.[8]

The following season, Sommariva only featured in the Coppa Italia Serie C,[8] without making an appearance in the league.[6] After winning the Serie C, Monza were promoted to the Serie B for the first time in 19 years.[9]

2020–2022: Serie B

[edit]

Starting as Monza's third-choice goalkeeper of the season, Sommariva made his Serie B debut on 20 October 2020, in a 1–1 draw to Pisa,[10] due to the positivity of Eugenio Lamanna and Michele Di Gregorio—Monza's first-choice goalkeepers—to COVID-19.[11] Sommariva also played the following game, on 24 October to Chievo, where Monza lost 2–1.[12] On 27 October, he made his debut in the Coppa Italia against Pordenone in the third round.[6] With Monza being reduced to 10 men, Sommariva kept a clean sheet throughout the 120 minutes (including extra time), and saved three of Pordenone's four penalties in the penalty shoot-out, to help Monza pass to the fourth round.[13]

Despite Lamanna's return to the team, Sommariva kept his place as the first-choice keeper against Cittadella in the league;[14] Monza won 2–1 in their first league win of the season.[15]

Pescara

[edit]

On 13 July 2022, Sommariva joined Serie C side Pescara, alongside teammate Luca Lombardi,[16] as part of a swap deal involving Alessandro Sorrentino moving the other way.[17]

Return to Genoa

[edit]

On 5 July 2023, Sommariva returned to Genoa ahead of the 2023–24 Serie A season.[2]
