Mattia Cassani (born 26 August 1983) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Sampdoria.

Club career

Juventus

Cassani started his career at Juventus and then left for Sampdoria on loan in January 2003.

Verona

In June 2003 he left for Hellas Verona on loan with an option to buy him outright for €800,000,[2][3] Cassani was awarded the number 83 shirt.[4] The loan was extended for one more year in the same month.[5] In June 2005, Verona bought him in a co-ownership deal for €400,000.[6] With Juventus facing the 2006 Italian football scandal they terminated all co-ownership deals, either selling or buying back, Verona bought Cassani outright in June 2006 for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around €1.43M.[7]

Palermo

Cassani, who can play at either left or right back joined Palermo on 1 July[8] for €2.5 million[9] on a five-year contract[9] along with teammate Gianni Munari (who joined the club in a co-ownership deal[8] for €1 million[9] on a four-year contract[9]). That season Palermo also sold Fabio Grosso.

On 6 April 2008, Cassani scored his first professional goal, a late 28 yard shot which gave Palermo a 3–2 home win against his former club Juventus ending a string of four consecutive defeats.[10]

In October 2008, his contract was renewed until 30 June 2013.[11] Cassani extended his contract again during the 2010-11 season, until 30 June 2015. Cassani also served as team captain during the first period of the 2010–11 season due to the absence of both Fabrizio Miccoli and Fabio Liverani.

On 2 February 2011, Cassani made his 151st appearance with Palermo, thus becoming the most capped player in Serie A history for the rosanero.[12]

Fiorentina

On 24 August 2011 he moved to Fiorentina on loan, for €2 million,[13] with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season, for another €2.75 million.[13][14] On 2 July 2012 he moved permanently to Fiorentina for the pre-agreed price on a three-year contract.[13][15][16]

On 30 January 2013 he moved to Genoa in a temporary deal with the option to purchase, rejoining Rubén Olivera.[17] In June 2013 Genoa did not excise their option to buy Cassani and sold Nenad Tomović to Fiorentina in a forced auction, as both clubs failed to form an agreement before the deadline. On 7 July 2013, Cassani and Olivera were included in La Viola's pre-season friendly.[18] Both players were not in the starting line-up.[19]

Parma

On 8 August 2013, Cassani was signed by Parma on a temporary deal with the option to buy.[20] In July 2014 he was signed outright.[21][22]

Return to Sampdoria

On 2 July 2015, Cassani joined Sampdoria on a free transfer, having been recently released by Parma.[23]

International career

Cassani was capped at U20 level, a development squad to fill the gap between U19 team and the U21.

He also played for the U21 B team consisting of Serie B players, against Belgium U21 on 30 March 2004.[24] On the same day Italy U21 team also scheduled a match against Portugal U21.

In May 2009, Cassani got his first senior national call-up to play for Italy against Northern Ireland, but did not make his debut on that occasion. On 18 November 2009 he made his debut in a friendly against Sweden.

He was in Lippi's 28-men provisional 2010 World Cup squad, but was not included in the 23-men final squad.[25]
