Ciro Immobile, a standout player in Italy's triumphant Euro 2020 campaign, has announced his retirement from football at the age of 36. The announcement was made in a video where he addressed his teammates at French Ligue 1 club Paris FC, whom he joined in January. Immobile cited the need to spend more time with his family and the difficulty of continuing to perform at his best as primary reasons for his decision.
Immobile's career has been marked by impressive goal-scoring records. He scored a total of 350 goals in 656 matches across various clubs. Notably, he achieved 207 goals in 340 matches for Lazio, making him the club's all-time leading scorer. His international career includes 57 caps and being part of the Italian team that won the European Championship in 2021.
Despite a serious thigh injury that sidelined him in Italy, Immobile joined Paris FC in February with an option for an additional year. However, he managed to score only two league goals for the club, which is owned by the LVMH luxury brands family. His decision to retire comes as a surprise to many, given his relatively young age and continued passion for the sport.
