Early career

In February 2017, reported interest was shown in Petrungaro by Manchester City and Red Bull Salzburg, although a move never materialized.[2] In September 2018, Petrungaro moved to Torino's youth system after falling out of favor in Rome.[3]

AlbinoLeffe

Prior to the 2019–20 season, Petrungaro moved to Serie C club AlbinoLeffe, with Torino incorporating a buy back clause into the contract.[4] He made his league debut for the club on 29 September 2019, coming on as a 77th minute substitute for Francesco Gelli in a 1–0 away defeat to Novara.[5]
