Patrick Cutrone (Italian: ; born 3 January 1998) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian Serie A club AC Milan and the Italy national team.
Patrick Cutrone was born in Como and began to play football at a young age. In 2005, the 7-year old Cutrone started his youth career at the local team GS Parediense. In the summer of 2007, he had trials at Internazionale, Monza, and Milan. On 29 June 2007 he officially joined Milan's academy, where he spent the following ten years, playing through the different age groups up to the Primavera (under-19) team. In March 2015, Cutrone signed his first professional contract with Milan, effective from 1 July 2015 until 30 June 2018.
Cutrone received his first ever call-up to the senior team for a home game against Pescara played on 30 October 2016; he was present on the team's bench and remained an unused substitute. Prior to that, his experience with the first team was limited to pre-season friendlies and occasional training sessions. In January 2017, Cutrone was promoted to Milan's first team. On 21 May 2017, he made his senior debut in the 3–0 Serie A home win against Bologna, coming on as a substitute for Gerard Deulofeu at the 85th minute. He also picked up his first ever yellow card in that game for a sliding tackle that led to a foul.
