Matteo Cocchi (born 1 February 2007) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie B club Padova, on loan from Inter Milan.

Career

Cocchi was in the Bologna youth team before joining Inter Milan in 2021. In 2024, his contract with Inter was extended into 2027. He plays on the left as a full-back or attacking wingback, and after featuring for the Inter Under-19 and Primavera team during the 2024–25 season, was called upon by Inter manager Simone Inzaghi during an injury crisis in that position. He made his professional debut for Inter Milan on 11 March 2025, appearing as a second-half substitute in the UEFA Champions League at home against Feyenoord, in a 2–1 win.

During the 2025–26 season, Cocchi established himself as a regular starter for Inter Milan's newly formed reserve side in Serie C, making 26 league appearances and scoring once.

On 22 July 2026, Cocchi moved to Serie B side Padova on a season-long loan.
