Roma
Missori started his career in Romulea—a club from the Italian capital—before joining AS Roma in 2013. Having won the national scudetto with both the under-15 and the under-17 in Rome, he made his first appearance in the professional squad under José Mourinho on the 24 October 2021, figuring on the team sheet for a Serie A game against Napoli, along with his Primavera teammate Felix Afena-Gyan.

Missori made his professional debut for Roma on the 25 November 2021, replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan for the last 10 minutes of a 4–0 home Conference league win against Zorya Luhansk. By doing so, he became the first 2004-born footballer to ever play for Roma, or for any Italian club in a European competition. On 10 July 2022, he officially renewed his contract with the club until 2026.

During the 2022–23 season, Missori was part of Roma's under-19 squad that won the Coppa Italia Primavera. On 6 May 2023, he made his Serie A debut, coming on as a substitute for Nemanja Matić in the injury time of a 2–0 home loss to Inter Milan. On 14 May, he made his first professional start in a goalless league draw against Bologna.

Sassuolo
On 29 June 2023, Missori joined Serie A club Sassuolo, together with team-mate Cristian Volpato, for a cumulative €10 million transfer fee, plus a 15% sell-on clause in favor of Roma for both the players. He made his debut for the club on 20 August, coming on for as a second-half substitute for Matías Viña in a 2–0 home league defeat to Atalanta. He went on to make eight league appearances throughout the season, as Sassuolo was eventually relegated to Serie B after eleven years in the top-flight.

International career
A youth international for Italy since the under-15, Missori became the captain of the under-18 selection in 2021.

He was included in the under-18 squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria, with the Azzurrini eventually winning the silver medal after losing 1–0 against France in the final match.

In December 2022, he was involved in a training camp led by the Italian senior national team's manager, Roberto Mancini, and aimed to the most promising national talents.

In June 2023, he was included in the Italian under-19 squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta, where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.
