Nicolò Casale, born 14 February 1998 (age 28), is an Italian central defender with Bologna. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he has the imposing frame expected of a Serie A centre-half, though that is only useful if the basics are in order.
His most productive league season came at Empoli in 2020–2021, when he made 24 appearances and scored once. It was a solid marker in a career built more on steady defensive work than headline numbers.
At Bologna in 2026–2027, Casale has made six Serie A appearances and scored one goal. His market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Casale’s career is that of an established Italian defender working through Serie A with a practical profile: tall, experienced, and still active at a good level.
