Matteo Darmian (born 2 December 1989) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a full-back or centre-back for {{Italian football updater|Internazionale}} club Inter Milan and the Italy national team.

He began his career at AC Milan, making his senior debut in 2006 at the age of 16 and Serie A debut in 2007 at the age of 17. In 2009, he joined Padova on loan, whom he helped avoid relegation from Serie B in his only season there. He then signed for Palermo in 2010, and one year later joined Torino, where he played for four seasons. He moved to Manchester United in July 2015, and in four years there, won the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League, before joining Parma in 2019. He signed a season-long loan deal with Inter in October 2020, who made the transfer permanent in February 2021. That season ended with Darmian winning the Serie A title, a first league championship of his career.

Darmian made his senior debut for the Italy national team in May 2014, and represented his nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2016 and Euro 2024.

After a long period of absence, in 2023 he returned regularly in the convocations of Italy, scoring against North Macedonia in November 2023.

Style of play

Although he started his career as a centre-back, and has occasionally continued to be used in this role, and even played as a central or defensive midfielder for the Milan youth team, in recent years Darmian has predominantly played as a defensive-minded full-back or wing-back, or even as a winger on occasion; due to his ability with either foot, he is capable of playing on either flank, although he prefers to be deployed on the right side of the pitch. An intelligent, dynamic, hard-working, and versatile player, he is known for his good quality of offensive and defensive play, as well as his tactical awareness, pace, and stamina, attributes which allow him to cover the wing effectively and provide width to his team when attacking. His professionalism, as well as his promising and consistent performances in his youth, led him to be compared to several esteemed Italian former full-backs, such as Antonio Cabrini and Paolo Maldini.{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttocalcionews.net/2014/06/17/speciale-giovani-talenti-matteo-darmian-il-nuovo-cabrini/|title=Speciale giovani talenti: Matteo Darmian, il nuovo Cabrini|publisher=Tutto Calcio News|language=it|access-date=16 September 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140720155800/http://www.tuttocalcionews.net/2014/06/17/speciale-giovani-talenti-matteo-darmian-il-nuovo-cabrini/|archive-date=20 July 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2094412-matteo-darmian-can-be-italys-secret-weapon-by-following-in-cabrinis-footsteps|title=Matteo Darmian Can Be Italy's Secret Weapon by Following in Cabrini's Footsteps|publisher=Bleacher Report|access-date=16 June 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.thescore.ie/analysis-england-italy-saturday-won-and-lost-1520218-Jun2014/|title=Here's where England v Italy was won and lost|publisher=The Score|access-date=16 June 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140622163027/http://www.thescore.ie/analysis-england-italy-saturday-won-and-lost-1520218-Jun2014/|archive-date=22 June 2014}}{{cite web|title=Why Losing Mattia De Sciglio Isn't a Major Problem for Italy and Prandelli|website=Bleacher Report |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2095900-why-losing-mattia-de-sciglio-isnt-a-major-problem-for-italy-and-prandelli|access-date=16 June 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttopalermo.net/?action=read&idnotizia=32338|title=Palermo, Darmian piacevole sorpresa|work=tuttopalermo.net|author= Giovanni Chinnici|language=it|date=3 February 2011|access-date=16 April 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/50656/darmian-provides-italy-hope|title=Darmian provides Italy hope|publisher=Football Italia|date=17 June 2014|access-date=8 July 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/49953/italy%E2%80%99s-world-cup-23|title=Italy's World Cup 23|publisher=Football Italia|author1=Luca Persico|date=2 June 2014|access-date=2 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/85318/dear-matteo-darmian|title=Dear Matteo Darmian|publisher=Football Italia|author1=Andrea Tallarita|date=3 June 2016|access-date=2 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9905854/arda-turan-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-reported-manchester-united-and-liverpool-target|title=Who is Manchester United's new signing Matteo Darmian?|publisher=Sky Sports|date=12 July 2015|access-date=2 February 2017}}{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/15/italy-hail-the-new-special-one-antonio-conte/|title=Italy hail the new 'special one' Antonio Conte|publisher=The Telegraph|author1=James Ducker|date=15 June 2016|access-date=2 February 2017}}{{cite web |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-england-mnu-darmian/modern-fullback-needs-technique-pace-and-smarts-says-darmian-idUKKBN13W0ZP |title=Modern fullback needs technique, pace and smarts, says Darmian |publisher=Reuters |date=7 December 2016 |access-date=20 January 2019 }}{{cite web |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2640563-uefa-euro-2016-br-200-top-20-right-backs/#slide12 |title=UEFA Euro 2016, B/R 200: Top 20 Right-Backs |publisher=Bleacher Report |last1=Tiluk |first1=Daniel |date=30 May 2016 |access-date=3 November 2019 }} During the 2012–13 season, Darmian made the most tackles per game (5.3) across Europe's top five leagues.{{cite web|url=http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/-gjpj1fo10qyu-oezf2gca|title=Player Focus: Torino's Matteo Darmian is Europe's best tackler|work=whoscored.com|access-date=14 May 2014}}
