Club career

edit

Born in Novara, Desplanches started his career in AC Milan's youth sector.[2] On 1 September 2022, he left Milan and signed with Serie C club Vicenza.[2]

On 5 January 2023, he was loaned to fellow third-tier club Trento until the end of the season.[3]

On 17 July 2023, Desplanches joined Serie B side Palermo for an undisclosed fee, signing a five-year contract with the club.[4][5] He spent the 2023–24 season as an understudy to Mirko Pigliacelli, and made his Rosanero debut only on the final home game of the season, a 2–2 draw to Ascoli on 5 May 2024.[6]

International career

edit

Desplanches was born in Italy to a French father and an Italian mother.[7] He is a youth international for Italy, having represented the Italy U15s, U16s, U18s and U19s.

In June 2022, he was included in the squad that took part in the UEFA Under-19 European Championship in Slovakia,[8] where Italy reached the semi-finals before getting knocked out by eventual champions England.

In May 2023, he was included in the Italy U20 squad that took part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.[9] The Azzurrini finished runners-up after losing to Uruguay in the final,[10][11] but he eventually received the Golden Glove award as the tournament's best goalkeeper.[12][13]

On 8 September 2023, he made his debut with the Italy U21, in the qualifying match against Latvia.
