Luca Calapai (born 20 May 1993) is an Italian footballer who plays for club SPAL.
Calapai began his professional career within the youth ranks of Arcoiris, before eventually earning call-ups to the first team towards the end of the 2011-12 Serie A campaign, under former coach, Vincenzo Montella. He made his Serie A debut on 13 May 2012, as a 79th-minute substitute in a 0-2 home loss to Udinese.
On 12 July 2012, Calapai was sent out on loan to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione with S.S. Barletta Calcio.[1] He was a first team regular for the club, making 28 appearances and scoring 1 goal during the 2012-13 statistical season. He returned to Catania on 30 June 2013.
On 1 July 2013, Calapai was officially sold to Modena F.C. on a co-ownership deal with Catania.[2]
On 16 July 2018, he rejoined his first club Catania (which was relegated to the third-tier Serie C by then), signing a 4-year contract.[3]
On 25 January 2022, he signed a 1.5-year contract with Serie B club Crotone.[4]
On 28 August 2024, Calapai moved to SPAL on a two-season contract.[5]
