Antonio Mirante

On 22 June 2018, Mirante joined Roma from Bologna for €4 million transfer fee, signing a three-year contract; on the same day both clubs also announced that goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski had joined Bologna from Roma for €9 million transfer fee, signing a five-year contract. Mirante visited Rome for a medical on 21 June and was presented with his number 83 shirt on the next day.

Mirante was signed by Bologna on a free transfer on 3 July 2015. He was the first choice of the team. On 19 July 2016, Mirante signed a new three-year contract. However, at the start of 2016–17 season he was diagnosed with a heart problem and had to undergo testing which ruled him out indefinitely; on 31 August 2016 the club signed Alfred Gomis on loan from Torino as an emergency replacement. After missing the next two and a half months of the season, he was finally cleared to play in mid November. Mirante made his debut since his injury on 28 November 2016 against Atalanta. He was the captain of Bologna in 2017–18 season, his last season with the club.

In June 2010, Sampdoria decided not to buy Rossi but sold Mirante to Parma. The Genoa club bought the remaining half of the player registration rights from Juventus for an additional €1.5 million fee and sold the full player registration rights to Parma for €3.6 million, despite also losing another one of its keepers, Castellazzi, to Internazionale on a Bosman transfer, and failing to sign shot-stopper Marco Storari from Milan, who had been on loan at the club.

On 8 August 2010, he received his first senior international call-up, to replace the injured Federico Marchetti.

In the second season Mirante was still served as the understudy of Castellazzi; the co-ownership of Mirante between Juventus and Sampdoria was renewed in June 2009.

On 19 July 2009, he went on loan to Parma in exchange for defender Marco Rossi, both on temporary deals.

Since arrived in 2009, Mirante was a regular in Parma's first team. He was the starting keeper of the team until the club formally went bankrupted in June 2015.

In the first season with Sampdoria, Mirante was an understudy of Luca Castellazzi. Nevertheless, at the end of the loan in June 2008, the club bought half of the registration rights of Mirante from Juventus for €1.5 million transfer fee.

However, he was transferred to the Italian Serie A club Sampdoria on a one-year loan deal for the 2007–08 season on 3 July 2007.

He returned to Juventus in 2006 due to the club's relegation to Serie B following their involvement in the 2006 Calciopoli Scandal; he was capped for the first time when first choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was red carded in the 24th minute against AlbinoLeffe, on 18 November 2006. Juventus won the 2006–07 Serie B title and obtained promotion to 2007–08 Serie A.

Mirante was a member of Italy U-21 team in 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, as an unused substitute. He has not made his debut for Italy at U-20 or U-21 level, despite having been called up a total of six times.

In 2005, he was loaned to Siena with Nicola Legrottaglie, Igor Tudor, Paro, Gastaldello, Douglas Ricardo Packer, Cristian Molinaro, Luca Cacciotto and Rej Volpato.

After starting his professional career with Juventus, Mirante was loaned to Crotone in 2004, along with Giovanni Bartolucci, Tomas Guzman, Abdoulay Konko, Matteo Paro and Daniele Gastaldello.

Antonio Mirante (born 8 July 1983) is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie A club Roma as a goalkeeper.
