On 9 January 2022, Cittadini made his professional debut for Atalanta, coming in as a 90th-minute substitute in a 6–2 Serie A win against Udinese.[5]

On 22 September of the same year, he also made his debut with the under-21 national team, playing the second half of a friendly match against England.[14]
