Club career
A Palermo youth product, Corona made his senior debut for the Rosanero in 2021 during a Serie C league game against Turris. He was successively loaned out to Torino in August 2021, playing exclusively for the Under-19 team before heading back to Palermo by the end of the season.In August 2023, Corona left Palermo again, this time to join Empoli on another loan deal. He almost exclusively played for the Under-19 team, except for a lone four-minute appearance in a Serie A league game against Hellas Verona on 15 January 2024.
In August 2024, after returning from his Empoli loan, Corona agreed a contract extension until 30 June 2027 with Palermo, and was successively loaned out to Serie C club Pontedera. With Pontedera, Corona finally succeeded in playing regularly and making it to the spotlight, amassing a total ten goals in the regular season plus another one in the promotion playoffs.
After his positive campaign at Pontedera, Palermo, under new head coach Filippo Inzaghi, called back the player to join the pre-season training camp, scoring four goals in the first friendly game.
