Edoardo Bove is a boy from Rome, he is a twenty-year-old who loves Football, he is the young man that all of Italy has been rooting for since the 15th minute of Fiorentina-Inter, when he collapsed on the ground due to an illness. Edoardo was born in Rome in 2002, with his father originally from Naples. He became a starter in Serie A step by step, with willpower as well as talent: a midfielder who runs a lot and knows how to score. He grew up in the Appio Latino area and as a footballer in Boreale, a Roman club where he remained for three years, before joining Roma's youth sector. He has always played football and also tennis as a child, to the point of attracting the attention of the Bollettieri Academy. He was also talented with the racket, he is a friend of Flavio Cobolli but in short… football is football and for him it has always had priority. Football then, without forgetting his studies: he graduated with 100 from the Giovanni Paolo II Institute in Ostia and chose to enroll in the Faculty of Economics and Management at Luiss.

His Instagram profile tells of a boy in love with his girlfriend Martina, passionate about football and the cities in which he lives: Rome obviously but also Florence, portrayed in a series of photos, from Ponte Vecchio to Brunelleschi's Dome. Those who know him say that he comes from an excellent family and is very close to his origins: in recent years he has often returned to Boreale, which he helped concretely, with the desire to support and relaunch his first company. “Edoardo has a determination, a spirit of suffering and an absolutely extraordinary ability to give up,” said Leandro Leonardi, president of Boreale, in the past.

His history in football, of course, is his history with Roma. In 2018-19, Bove was in the Primavera with Alberto De Rossi, Daniele's father. In 2019 he stopped due to a foot injury, in May 2021 he made his Serie A debut, at the end of a Roma-Crotone 5-0. Then Mourinho arrives. The Special One takes Roma in 2021 and starts making him play. First for a few minutes, curiously against Fiorentina. Then more and more. “He is an exemplary professional, he looks like a 30-year-old player – Mou will say a year later -. Last year he played 5 minutes, this year 20, then 30, then he became a starter. He has grown emotionally. I did my job, I helped him grow.”

the goal against bayer

Edoardo plays 13 games in 2021-22, then 33 in 2022-23, reaching 45 in 2023-24, a season spent half as a starter, first with Mou, then with De Rossi, one of his legends together with Gundogan. The highest point with Roma? The goal in the first leg of the 2023 Europa League semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen: 1-0 in the first leg, 0-0 in the second leg and Roma in the final. Final against Sevilla in which Bove will play a few seconds before the penalties. Then the reluctant farewell and the offer from Fiorentina accepted in the summer, curiously like what happened to Lazio's Cataldi: “They say that there are no more flags and it's not just the players' fault – said Edoardo -. This makes me laugh because companies look at their interests without scruples. This led me and Danilo to go, we were no longer in the center: nothing wrong, take note of it. We immediately felt at home here.” And in purple, in his new home, we all want to see him again soon.
