Samuele Perisan (born 21 August 1997) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie B club Sampdoria on loan from Empoli.
Born in San Vito al Tagliamento, a town belonging to the province of Pordenone,[1] Perisan joined the youth sector of fellow Friulian club Udinese and came through its youth ranks in 2016, when he became the club's third-choice goalkeeper behind Orestis Karnezis and Simone Scuffet.
[4] However, on 16 January 2019, his spell was terminated early by mutual consent and he returned to Udinese,[5] where he went on serving as a third-choice goalkeeper again (this time behind Juan Musso and Nícolas) for the rest of the 2018-19 season, as well as the 2019-20 season, although he never registered a single appearance for the Friulian team.
[6][7] Although the team went through a fluctuating season, as they finished in fifteenth place in Serie B, Perisan broke out as one of the league's most consistent goalkeepers, having collected 13 clean sheets in 35 appearances and even being deemed as Player of the Month in January 2021.
In May 2017, he was included in the Italian under-20 squad that would take part in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, being the third-choice goalkeeper behind Andrea Zaccagno and Alessandro Plizzari.
