He grew up playing football at Sassuolo, was acquired by Borussia Dortmund, and is currently part of Borussia’s U19 team (even though he has already played games with the first team). He mainly plays as a centre-right defender in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

From a physical standpoint, Luca Reggiani has a well-structured physique, with a height well above average and a high centre of gravity. He is a rangy athlete with good agility, balance, and coordination, but he needs to develop his musculature. Luca Reggiani has excellent body control despite his height, but he isn’t very fast.

Luca Reggiani is a center back with solid basic technique; his preferred foot is his right, but he also uses the left well. The player shows a good game vision, especially in long-distance passes. He has an excellent header, making him valuable both defensively and offensively.

During the possession phase, the Italian defender is not afraid to take risks with the ball: he often relies on medium- and long-range passes and also serves teammates with lay-off and one-two passes.

During the non-possession phase, Luca Reggiani is strong in 1v1 duels, and he consistently tries to anticipate his opponent. He has perfect timing and coordination; the Italian centre back shows great technical cleanliness: his challenges are always composed and elegant. Luca Reggiani also has excellent positioning, which allows him to intercept many passes and shots. It is worth noting that in many situations, the defender prefers to clear the ball and, moreover, needs to make more use of sliding tackles.

From a mental perspective, the player has personality and leadership qualities: despite his young age, he directs the defense in various game situations, reminds his teammates, and suggests passes. In fact, in youth teams, he was almost always the captain. He celebrates after saves or tackles.

As for the player's overall rating, Luca Reggiani proved to be an excellent prospect with room for improvement: He stands out above all for his 1v1 quality, charisma, and good basic technique. The Italian defender, however, has yet to improve his tackling and passing accuracy. He has the potential to become a very good central defender. A player with a similar profile in today's game is definitely Leoni.
