| Francesco Acerbi (Italian pronunciation: ; born 10 February 1988) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Inter Milan and the Italy national team.
Until the age of 22, Acerbi played only in the lower tiers of Italian football, before being purchased by the Serie B club Reggina, where he established himself as a starting lineup defender. In 2011, Acerbi signed with Chievo, thus making his Serie A debut. Despite being used only sporadically, Acerbi managed to draw the attention of AC Milan, who signed him the next summer. Having appeared in just ten games for the Rossoneri, Acerbi was sent back on loan to Chievo to complete the season. In 2013, he signed with Sassuolo, promoted to the Serie A for the first time in the club's history. During his debut season for the club he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and successfully cured by the end of campaign, which paved the way for his return to the pitch in September 2014.
In 2018, having made 173 appearances in all competitions for the Neroverdi, Acerbi transferred to Lazio, where he continued to be a starting defender. He was loaned to Inter Milan for the 2022–23 campaign, helping them reach the Champions League final. At the end of the season, Inter exercised his buy option clause and signed Acerbi permanently.
