Franco Carboni was born on April 4, 2003, in Buenos Aires, but he spent many years of his childhood away from the country. At the age of two it was the first time he emigrated: his father, Ezequiel Carboni, was sold by Lanús to Salzburg of Asutria. A few years later, she packed her bags again, this time to travel to Italy and accompany her father on a new adventure called Catania.
This is how the childhood of Franco Carboni passed, who at the age of eight returned to the country after his father agreed to arrive at Banfield, Lanús’ archrival. Despite changing paths, Ezequiel Carboni returned to work at Granate, this time as youth coach. And there his sons Franco and Valentín landed, where they began to build their career as youth players.
The Carbonis emigrated from the country again in 2019, when Ezequiel was hired as Reserve coach and General Coordinator of Catania Formative Football. Franco and his brother Valentín went there again, where they played a couple of games in Reserve and it was time to take a new leap: Inter Milan.
The first European experience for Franco Carboni
Inter bought Franco Carboni’s transfer for 400 thousand euros when he was just 17 years old. He immediately joined the Primera team, trained with the professionals and even went to the substitute bench in some games. Among them, a Champions League match against Liverpool. He failed to make his debut and at the end of the season he decided to emigrate to Cagliari, in search of minutes and continuity.
In August 2022 he made his debut in a match corresponding to the Italian Cup, with the Cagliari shirt.He came on in the second half and played 16 minutes in the win over Perugia. He made a good impression and began to gain ground. He played 13 more games in Serie B, where he scored a goal and added 459 minutes. A good start to add experience
Valentín Carboni, with little place in Inter’s Primera.
For the following season and after returning from the loan with Cagliari, Inter Milan decided to adopt a similar policy: Without a place in the professional squad, he chose to transfer it to Monza, which participated in Serie A. There he no longer had as many minutes as I imagine: between Serie A and the Italian Cup he played only four games.
Franco Carboni, non-stop: from Ternana Calcio to River
After a bad experience at Monza, Inter loaned Franco Carboni back to Serie B, where he found the chance to play for Ternana Calcio. There he again found more chances and the desired continuity. He played 21 games, totaling 1,551 minutes and scoring one goal.
This last step at Ternana Calcio was a relaunch for the career of the youngest of the Carboni, who He is preparing his suitcases again to return to Argentina. This time it won’t be for accompany his father in a new sports project, but to start writing his own story in Riverthe largest club on the continent.
