Udinese calls up José Sebastiani to first-team summer training camp

José Alberto Sebastiani, a 17-year-old goalkeeper playing for Udinese's Primavera squad, has been called up by coach Kosta Runjaic to participate in the first team's summer training camp in Lienz, Austria. Serving as the third goalkeeper, this marks a significant step in the career of the young athlete, who joined Udinese in 2024 after leaving Inter Milan's youth system.

The news has drawn significant social media attention due to Sebastiani being the son of well-known Italian TV presenter Amadeus and Giovanna Civitillo. While Amadeus expressed pride in his son's achievement, the call-up has also met with criticism from some social media users. These critics have questioned whether his family connections influenced his professional progression, with some suggesting he has had "open doors" to reach this level so quickly.
