Club career

=Early career=

Aramu began his career with amateur club A.S.D. Real Leini. At only eight years old he was noticed by former Torino players Antonio Comi and Silvano Benedetti and joined the Torino youth.{{Cite web|url=http://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2015/06/08-1526831/mattia_aramu/|title = Mattia Aramu, giovane talento dal cuore granata| date=8 June 2015 }} In 2013–14 he was one of the stars of the Primavera side of Moreno Longo that reached the finals of the tournament, lost on penalties to Chievo Verona. He finished the season with 20 goals scored between the league and cup (with two fundamental goals scored in the final phase of the tournament against Lazio). Throughout the season he was regularly called up to the first team by coach Giampiero Ventura.

==Loan to Trapani==

In the 2014–15 season Aramu joined Trapani on loan. He made his debut on 30 August 2014 against Pescara in a Serie B game. He replaced Giovanni Abate after 53 minutes.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/08/30/italy/serie-b/pescara-calcio/asd-trapani-calcio/1882141/|title=Pescara vs. Trapani - 30 August 2014 - Soccerway|publisher=soccerway.com|accessdate=7 September 2014}} He scored his first goal in Serie B on 1 November 2014, deciding the match against Brescia, 3–2.{{Cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/11/01/italy/serie-b/asd-trapani-calcio/brescia-calcio/1882367/|title = Trapani vs. Brescia - 1 November 2014 - Soccerway}}

==Loan to Livorno==
