A talented and opportunistic player, with an eye for goal, Prati was capable of playing anywhere along the front-line, as a striker, supporting forward, and as a winger. At Milan, he was often deployed on the left wing due to his pace, technique, distribution, and was also known for his powerful and accurate shot from both inside and outside the penalty area, as well as his ability in the air. He began his career playing in Serie C1 with Salernitana, winning the title and promotion to Serie B during the 1965–66 season. His son, Cristiano, is also a footballer, who plays in the lower Italian divisions.
