The Player: Gaetano Castrovilli

Gaetano Castrovilli (Minervino Murge, February 17, 1997) is an Italian midfielder with great technique and vision, who grew up in the Fiorentina youth sector where he then built his entire career as a protagonist. Debuting in Serie A with La Viola, he established himself as one of the most interesting midfielders of his generation, capable of making runs, scoring goals, and demonstrating quality in ball control. His first call-up to the senior national team came in November 2019, for the match against Armenia on November 18 in Palermo, valid for the Euro 2020 Qualifiers: a historic evening for him, marking his Azzurri debut and making this Player Issued jersey a sports document of great collectible value, linked to the national team baptism of a player whose talent is recognized internationally.

What is a Player Issued Jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a certain player but not necessarily used in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. When the Player Issued jersey has an official matchday patch with the date and opponent, its collectible value increases further, as it precisely documents the match for which it was prepared. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and represents for collectors an authentic piece of very high historical value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
