He had great technical abilities with both feet, good ball defense and excellent position abilities all over the field. He has a great shot, especially in free kicks. He can play as central striker alone or not, sometimes he plays as wing or 10.[1]

Early career edit

He was born in Genoa and, after starting in the school team, he was noticed by the Genoa observers who immediately signed him. In Genoa, the Italian Serie A team was the owner of all the youth teams until the Primavera (18 years old). In the meantime he studied until he reached the diploma of the Linguistic Lyceum.

Club career edit

After a short loan to Ternana, his first experience in professional football was in San Benedetto del Tronto (Serie C) in 2018 with the Sambenedettese team in which he immediately scored a goal on his debut but a muscle injury made that year difficult.

In 2019 he played a starter with the Rieti team, playing all the games of the Championship until the stop required by the Covid pandemic (March 2020).

On 1 July 2020 he signed a 3-year contract with Cavese.[2]

On 1 February 2021 he joined Monopoli on a 1.5-year contract.[3]

On 24 August 2021, he moved to Serie B club Ascoli on loan with an obligation to buy.[4]

On 29 July 2023, De Paoli returned to Monopoli on a two-year deal.[5]
