Ciro Immobile

About Ciro Immobile

In 2011, a young Italian forward pulled on the Pescara shirt for the first time. Ciro Immobile, born in 1990, would go on to play for 8 clubs over the following 15 years. Today the shirt being worn belongs to Paris FC, and the timeline keeps growing.

Reading the grid stop by stop, the route runs: Pescara (2011–2012), then Genoa (2012–2013), then Torino (2013–2014), then Borussia Dortmund (2014–2015), then Sevilla (2015–2016), then Torino (2016–2016), then Lazio (2016–2025), then Beşiktaş (2025–2026), then Paris FC (2026 to today). Each of those moves is a clue in the riddle — and a chapter in the story.

The longest loyalty belonged to Lazio, an association stretching about 9 years. Germany entered the story in 2014 through a move to Borussia Dortmund. From start to finish the map lights up across Italy, Germany, Spain, Turkey, France.

The ledger shows 624 recorded appearances, 313 goals, 70 assists.

A couple of details make this career stand out. He once equaled the record for most goals in a single Serie A season with 36, earning him the prestigious European Golden Shoe as Europe's top scorer. He became the all-time leading goal scorer for a prominent Italian club, surpassing a long-standing record held by a club legend. He is the first Italian striker to win the Serie A top scorer award, known as the Capocannoniere, four times in his career.

This profile doubles as a study guide: from Pescara in 2011 to Paris FC, the timeline below is exactly what the riddle shows when Ciro Immobile is the mystery player.
