Antonio Candreva is an Italian midfielder. He was born on 28 February 1987 in the Italian capital.
Antonio started out his football grooming at a hometown club Lodigiani before joining Ternana youth system in 2003. The following season, he was promoted to the club’s first team where he played in 48 matches during a three-year stint. In 2007, Candreva signed for Udinese but managed to play only a few matches before being loaned to Livorno. It was to Candreva’s immense credit that the club broke into Serie A. In 2010, he was loaned to Serie A powerhouse Juventus but was predominantly deployed as a backup player. Nevertheless, Candreva contrived to score the winning goal against Bologna less than 10 minutes after his substitute debut. In a few days, Antonio made his Europa League debut in the round of 32 match against Ajax coming on as a substitute for captain Alessandro Del Piero.
After the spell at Juventus, Candreva played for Parma and Cesena before joining Lazio in 2012.
He also had a short spell with Udinese.
Antonio Candreva featured for all the youth levels of the Italy national team from U-18 to U-21. Since 2009, he is capped to the senior side of the team.
