Dominic Vavassori (born 9 December 2005) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Palermo, on loan from Atalanta.
Club career
Atalanta Born in Bergamo, Vavassori first played for US Buraghese in Burago di Molgora and SS Tritium, in Trezzo sull’Adda, before joining Atalanta's Youth Sector in 2017, where he first made strides with the Primavera team. He started playing for the reserve team in Serie C during the 2024–25 season. Vavassori made his professional debut with Atalanta U23, scoring in a 2–1 Coppa Italia Serie C win on 10 August 2024.
He was a standout with the reserve team during that season, most notably during the promotion play-offs, where he scored 5 goals as his team beat the likes of Trento, AlbinoLeffe and Torres, only narrowly missing an historical promotion to Serie B. That same month, he also first featured on the team sheet with the first team during the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid and the following Serie A game.
During the 2025–26 season, he confirmed his prolific form with the reserve team. In October 2025, he signed a contract extension with Atalanta. Having regularly appeared as an unused substitute in both domestic and European competitions, he eventually made his first-team debut on 22 May 2026, during a 1–1 away Serie A draw to Fiorentina.
Loan to Palermo On 1 August 2026, Vavassori joined Serie B side Palermo on loan.
International career
Born in Italy to a Brazilian father and a Polish mother, Vavassori is a youth international for Italy, having played for the under-20 team. He was then first called to the under-21 in November 2025.
In May 2026, he was first called to the national senior team for the training camp preceding the friendlies against Greece and Luxembourg, as interim coach Silvio Baldini decided to focus on young players after Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup.
