Early career[]

Born in Rome, Italy, Cerri began his youth career playing futsal at Atletico Torrino, before joining Lupa Roma in 2015.[1] After one year he moved to Unicusano Fondi and, in summer of 2017, he joined Pescara.[1] In 2018–19, Cerri scored 14 goals with Pescara's under-16s; he also played three games with the under-17s at the end of the season, scoring a goal.[1]

On 2 July 2019, Cerri joined Juventus in a transfer worth €1.1 million, with Pescara holding 50% of his future sale.[2] He played for the under-17s in 2019–20, scoring 12 goals in 17 games.[3] In 2020–21, Cerri was moved to the under-19s, playing in the Campionato Primavera 1.[3]

On 24 January 2021, Cerri scored on his debut for Juventus U23 – the reserve team of Juventus – in the Serie C, coming on as a substitute and scoring the equalizer in a 1–1 draw against Pro Sesto.[4] On 23 July, Cerri suffered a sprain to his right knee.[5]

Style of play[]

Cerri has been likened to former Italian footballer Luca Toni for his movements, position, and height.[1] At 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in),[6] Cerri is a tall, left-footed striker, whose main characteristics are his physical presence in the box and his heading.[1]
