Sansone was born in Foggia but moved to Germany at a young age and joined local sports club SV Neuperlach. At the age of 10, he transferred to Bayern Munich, where he progressed through the Junior Team. He made his debut for Bayern's reserve team in January 2010, in a 3rd Liga match against Dynamo Dresden.[1] He made three more appearances in the 2009–10 season, and was a regular in the team during the 2010–11 season. In October 2010, he was named on the substitutes bench for the first-team in a Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg. He was released in June 2011 after Bayern's reserves were relegated from the 3rd Liga.

Both players also called-up to 2008 Minsk under-17 International Tournament[2] He scored a goal in the second match, a 3–0 won against Belarus.[3] However, he was not called-up to 2008 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship elite round in March.
He played for Italy U19 team on 11 March 2009, the second match of season 2009–10 (for player born on or after 1991), he also called-up to the next friendly match against Ukraine (born 1990 team), as Ukraine was preparing for the 2009 final tournament. He scored a goal in that match, a 2–2 draw.[4] He then dropped from the team, as he did not received a call-up to U18 team (born 1991 class) for a friendly tournament in Slovakia.[5] In November 2009, he was recalled to the U19 team for 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification.
