The player has signed a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2029, with an option to extend the contract for a further two seasons. He will remain on loan at Lumezzane until June 30, 2026. <\/p>\n\n<p>A modern defender with a strong physical build, attention to marking, and a good ability to build play from the back, Gallea represents a promising player with whom we can work with for the future as we continue our development.<\/p>\n\n<p>Born in Bamako, Mali, in 2005, he grew up in Turin, where he began his career as a youth player, joining the Granata youth academy. He completed his entire football career there, up to the Under-18 level, honing his technical and tactical skills over time. In the 2023\/2024 season, he joined Palermo&#8217;s youth team, making his debut in the Primavera 2 team and scoring two goals in 30 appearances (one in the Coppa Italia). The following season (2024\/2025) saw him at Cesena in the Primavera 1 team (27 appearances and one goal). In the summer of 2025, he began his adventure at Lumezzane, where he made his professional debut on October 13th in a match away to Dolomiti Bellunese and quickly became a key element of the defence. He has made 12 appearances in Serie C so far.     <\/p>\n\n<p>The loan to the Lombardy club will allow the young defender to continue his development, gaining further experience and consistency in professional football.<\/p>\n\n<p>Congratulations and good luck, Francesco.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22098,"template":"","tags":[1221],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-22100","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-francesco-beidi-gallea","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
