Bruno Zapelli (born 16 May 2002) is a professional footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense. Born in Argentina, he is an Italian youth international.
Born in Carlos Paz, Córdoba, Zapelli was spotted at the age of eleven by Spanish side Villarreal while trialling in Rosario.[2] After almost three years in Spain, he returned to Argentina and trialled with Boca Juniors.[2] However, when the club could not provide a place for him to stay, he returned to Córdoba to join Belgrano.[2]
In 2022, Zapelli was subject to a $2,000,000 bid from Italian club Modena, which was rejected by Belgrano.[3]
