Club career
Inter Milan
2009–10 season
Caldirola started his career at Inter Milan, where he was the team captain at under-20 level (Primavera) and was occasionally called up to join the first team during the 2009–10 season, without making any appearances, however, on the pitch.[2] Caldirola also played for various youth teams in Lombardy as goalkeeper and midfielder before joined Inter[3] at the age of eight.[4] He played in a friendly match for the Inter first team in 2009.[5]
2010–11 season
On 29 June 2010, Inter loaned out Caldirola to Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem of the Eredivisie for the entire 2010–11 season; he is the second Italian player to be part of the Arnhem club, after Marco De Marchi.[6] Inter also reduced the age limit of its Primavera team to under-19 in 2010, keeping only three players born in 1991 in the 2010–11 season as back-ups for the first team.
Half of the registration rights of Caldirola — and Luca Garritano — were sold to Cesena as part of the deal that brought defender Yuto Nagatomo to the San Siro in June 2011, after a successful loan.[7] Half of the registration rights of Caldirola was valued €2.5 million; Caldirola signed a four-year contract.[8] Both Caldirola and Garritano returned to Inter in a temporary deal for the 2011–12 season.
2011–12 season
On 7 December 2011, Caldirola made his first team debut for Inter in a UEFA Champions League group stage match against CSKA Moscow which ended in a 2–1 loss at San Siro.[9]
On 4 January 2012, Inter confirmed that Caldirola signed a loan deal until the end of the season with the Serie B outfit Brescia.[10]
2012–13 season
In June 2012, the co-ownership deal was renewed and Caldirola reported to Cesena in pre-season on 10 July 2012, where he played the first half of the season for the Romagna club before again being loaned to Brescia in January 2013,[11] where he finished the campaign with 15 league appearances.
In June 2013 Inter bought back Caldirola for €2.5 million, with Riccardo Melgrati and Thomas Pedrabissi moved to Cesena outright for €750,000 and €1 million respectively; Cesena also signed Yago Del Piero in co-ownership deal for €250,000, thus the deals only involves €500,000 cash to Cesena.[12]
Werder Bremen
On 26 June 2013, SV Werder Bremen confirmed the signing of Luca Caldirola from Inter on a four-year contract,[13] for a €2.5 million transfer fee.[14]
He missed most of the 2016–17 season due to injuries.[15] With his contract running out at the end of the month, he agreed to a two-year contract extension on 15 June 2017.[15]
After an envisaged transfer away from the club did not materialise in summer 2018, Caldirola trained with Werder Bremen's reserves in the first half of the 2018–19 season.[16]

Benevento

Monza
On 17 July 2021, Caldirola moved to Monza in the Serie B on a two-year contract.[19]
