After having made his Serie A debut for Fiorentina, on 31 January 2020, Ranieri was loaned to Serie B side Ascoli until the end of the season. On the next day he made his debut for the club in a 3–0 away win over Livorno, he was replaced by Erick Ferigra in the 93rd minute.

On 6 September 2019 he made his debut for Italy U21 in a friendly against Moldova.

On 16 July 2018, Ranieri joined Serie B club Foggia on a season-long loan. On 26 August he made his professional debut in Serie B debut for Foggia as a 77th-minute substitute for Emanuele Cicerelli in a 4–2 home win over Carpi. One month later, on 27 October, Ranieri played his first match as a starter, a 2–2 home draw against Lecce, he was replaced by Giuseppe Loiacono in the 69th minute. Three days later, on 30 October, he played his first entire match for the team, a 1–1 away draw against Cittadella. Ranieri ended his season-long loan to Foggia with 29 appearances, including 26 as a starter, and 1 assist.

Ranieri is the product of ACF Fiorentina youth teams and started playing for their Under-19 squad in the 2015–16 season. Late in the 2017–18 Serie A season he made several bench appearances for Fiorentina's senior squad, but did not see any time on the field.

Ranieri first was called up to represent his country in November 2014 for Italy national under-16 football team friendlies. He was later called up for the Under-17, Under-18, and eventually Under-20 squads.
