Club career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Brunori made his Serie C debut for Foligno on 5 June 2011, in a game against Ternana.[3]

On 1 August 2019, he joined Pescara on loan from Parma with an obligation to buy.[4]

On 24 January 2020, Pescara bought out his rights early and immediately re-sold him to Juventus U23.[5]

On 24 August 2020, he became a new Entella player on loan with an option to buy.[6]

Palermo

[edit]

On 9 August 2021, he joined Palermo on loan.[7] He made his debut with rosanero in a Coppa Italia Serie C game on 21 August 2021, which Palermo won 4–1 against Picerno.[8] On 26 September, Brunori scored his first goal in a 1–1 away draw against Monterosi Tuscia.[9] On 6 February 2022, he scored both of Palermo's goals in a 2–2 away against Campobasso, which allowed him to break the 10-goal barrier.[10][11]

Brunori scored another brace in the following home match, which Palermo won 3–1 against Juve Stabia.[12] With his goal against Turris, he surpassed his personal-best tally of 13 goals,[13] which he had reached in the 2018–2019 season with Arezzo,[14] and surpassed Lorenzo Lucca as top scorer of Palermo in Serie C.[15][14] On 6 March, he scoring a goal in a win against Vibonese, reaching Şükrü Gülesin as player with more consecutive goals scored for Palermo (7).[16] Brunori broke the record in the next match against Avellino.[17]

On 24 April, in the last league match against Bari, Brunori scored one of the two goals that allowed Palermo to qualify for the play-offs.[18] The following 10 June, he won the "Trofeo Facco" for the best goal of 2021–22 Serie C.[19]

In the play-offs, Brunori contributed to the final promotion of Palermo, scoring four goals in 8 games, against Virtus Entella,[20] Feralpisalò (2 goals)[21][22] and Padova, in the final.[23]

On 17 July 2022, a couple of weeks after the end of the loan deal, Palermo announced to have permanently signed Brunori from Juventus, agreeing on a four-year contract with the striker.[24][25] On his debut as a permanent Palermo player, Brunori scored his first hat-trick with a Rosanero jersey in a 3–2 Coppa Italia home win against Reggiana.[26] On 6 June 2023, after captaining Palermo and scoring 17 goals on his first Serie B season with the Sicilians, Brunori signed a contract extension until 30 June 2027.[27]

International career

[edit]

On 15 December 2022, Brunori was called up by Italy national team manager Roberto Mancini as part of the 69-player squad of "players of national interest" for a stage in Coverciano to be held from 20 to 22 December.[28][29]

Personal life

[edit]

Born in Brazil to Italian parents, Brunori moved back to Assisi with his family at one year of age.[1] He was raised by his mother alone, and later changed his full surname from "Brunori Sandri" to just "Brunori", choosing to keep only his mother's one.[1]

On 11 June 2022, just two days before Palermo's promotion playoff final against Padova, Brunori married his long-time partner Dalila at the Castello di Naro, in the city of Cagli; the marriage was originally scheduled to be held in 2020 but was then postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.[30]
