Riccardo Pagano (born 28 November 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie B club Bari on loan from Roma.[1]
Born in Tivoli, Lazio, Riccardo Pagano joined the Roma academy as a 9 years old, from ASD Villanova Calcio, in Guidonia Montecelio.[2][3][4][5]
Soon emerging as a leader with Roma youth teams, wearing the number 10 and the captain armband,[6][7] he signed a contract with the agency of Roma legend Francesco Totti on the summer 2020.[8]
Having established himself as standout with Roma's primavera[9]—a team that won the 2023 Coppa Primavera[5][10]—, he was first called by José Mourinho in May 2023, appearing on the bench against Fiorentina in Serie A.[2][11]
He was again included in the professional squad for the pre-season 2023–24, showing his attacking qualities in the summer friendlies.[3][4][12][13][14]
On 8 July 2025, Pagano moved on loan to Bari in Serie B, with an option to buy.[15]
