Wladimiro Falcone (born 12 April 1995) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Sampdoria.

Club career[]

Sampdoria[]

Born in Rome, Falcone is a youth product of Ligurian club Sampdoria. He was the first choice of their reserve team from 2012 to 2014,[3] while also appearing as unused bench for the first team.

Loans[]

On 25 July 2014, Falcone was signed by Lega Pro club Como in a temporary deal.[4][5] The club won promotion to Serie B in 2015 as the promotion playoffs winner.

On 20 July 2015, he was signed by another third-level club, Savona, in a temporary deal.[6][7]

On 9 July 2016, he left Samp once again for Livorno in another temporary deal.[8] The club was relegated from Serie B to Lega Pro in 2016. On 31 January 2017, he returned to Sampdoria.

In July 2017, he joined Bassano on loan.[9] But in January 2018, he left for Gavorrano.[10] Later he went to Lucchese on loan.[11]

Return and loan to Cosenza[]

On 2019 he came back to Sampdoria, and he made his debut for the club on 29 July 2020 in a 1–4 loss against Milan.[12]

On 29 August 2020 he extended his contract for Sampdoria until 2024; on the same day he went to Cosenza on a season loan.[13][14]

During the whole 2020-21 season, Falcone established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper of the Silani and repeatedly stole the scene thanks to his performances,[15] although he couldn't help Cosenza avoid relegation, as a 9-point gap between them and Ascoli allowed the latter team to stay in the second tier without playing a relegation play-out.[16]

International career[]

In 2014, Falcone was a second-choice keeper for Italy's U-19 side during the qualifiers for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, behind Pierluigi Gollini.
