Irene Santi is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder. She has represented Italy Women's U19 and Italy Women's U23 at international level.
She spent her entire youth development pathway with ASD Inter Femminile Milano before progressing to the first team.
Football has been part of her family life since childhood, and she grew up playing with relatives on weekends.
An Inter scout discovered her during a training session, leading to her move into the club's academy system.
She spent the 2020–21 season on loan at Hellas Verona before returning to Inter.
She follows football closely away from the pitch and enjoys studying players in her position to improve her own game.
A serious knee injury and long rehabilitation period became one of the greatest challenges of her career, a period she later described as a source of pride after returning to play.
If she could borrow a quality from a teammate, she has said she would choose Lina Magull's calmness on the ball.
She has spoken about wanting to win a major trophy with Inter after spending much of her football life at the club.
