Fabio Valentini è a new Cantù
player.
Following the signing of Joonas Riismaa, Cantù Basketball also finalized the acquisition of new point guard Fabio Valentini, who signed a one-year contract with an extension option for the 2025-2026 season. The 1999-class basketball player è gifted with great flair and a dangerous shot from long distance, è also equally effective in freeing teammates with his assists.
Fabio è son and grandson d’art because both his father Andrea and grandfather Claudio, who also passed on to Cantù during his career, were professional basketball players. A native of Casale

Starting in the 2016-17 season, he began to be a permanent member of the A2 roster, earning more and more minutes from year to year until he reached an average of 10.7 points in the 2020-21 season.
After another year in Casale, he moved to Forlì. In Romagna he experiences his best year from a scoring standpoint, averaging 11.8 points and 2.5 assists. He also stays with the biancorossi in the season just ended, touching double-figure averages in the playoffs.
"I am very happy to be in Cantù and to be able to play in front of a top class audience and for such an ambitious project. I will tryò to give my contribution to try to make this season full of satisfaction. I want to thank the companyà and the coach for this opportunity. I can't wait to start!" these are the first words of Fabio Valentini as a player of Acqua S.Bernardo.
"We are inserting a player who has excellent experience in the league and who perfectly complements De Nicolao, which è important and makes me happy. Fabio will give us that dose of unpredictability; necessary and fundamental to try to achieve our goals" this, instead, the comment of coach Nicola Brienza.
