Luca Antei (born 19 April 1992) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Sassuolo.
Club career
He began his career with Serie A club Roma. Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Antei was training with the club's first-team and he was praised by Walter Sabatini, Roma's director of football, who said he was "growing exponentially" as a player.[3] Serie B side Grosseto announced that they had signed Antei on loan at the end of the transfer window in August 2011.[4][5] Having won the Campionato Nazionale Primavera the previous season,[6] the club allowed him to leave temporarily to gain experience.[7] He made his debut for Grosseto on 1 October in a 3–3 draw with Ascoli, replacing Samuele Olivi as a substitute.[8]
International career
He received his first call-up to the Italy under-21 team, managed by Ciro Ferrara, in August 2011 for the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualifier against Hungary in September.[9] He made his debut the following month in a 7–2 win against Liechtenstein on 6 October.[10]
On 1 June 2012 he had an operation on his knee (anterior cruciate ligament).[11]
