Manolo Gabbiadini (born 26 November 1991) is an Italian footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Sampdoria, in co-ownership with Juventus.
He is the brother of international footballer Melania Gabbiadini.[1]
Club career
Atalanta B.C.
Gabbiadini began his professional career with Atalanta B.C. He made his Serie A debut for Atalanta on 14 March 2010, in a league match against Parma, when he came on as a 79th minute substitute for Simone Tiribocchi.[2] Following his debut, Gabbiadini made one further appearance for the club during the 2009-10 Serie A campaign.
On 9 July 2010, he joined Serie B side A.S. Cittadella along with Daniele Gasparetto in co-ownership deal for a peppercorn of €500,[3] as part of the negotiation that saw Atalanta sign Matteo Ardemagni.[4][5] He scored 5 goals in 27 appearances (including 15 starts) during the 2010-11 Serie B season.
On 21 June 2011 he returned to Atalanta after his co-ownership deal was resloved for €1.5 million for the 50% registration rights.[6][7] During the 2011-12 Serie A campaign, Gabbiadini was fully integrated into the club's first team. He made 25 league appearances for the club, including 8 starts, and scored his first Serie A goal on 25 March 2012, in the home match won 2–0 against Bologna. He also scored in his lone 2011-12 Coppa Italia appearance for the nerrazzurri
Juventus
On 24 August 2012, Juventus officially signed Gabbiadini in a new co-ownership agreement for €5.5 million, however it involved €3.5 million cash along with the co-ownership of James Troisi's contract which was valued at €2M. Interestingly, Troisi was a free agent just 2 days prior to the deal, but signed by Juventus for the sole purpose of this negotiation. Immediately following his transfer to the city of Turin, Gabbiadini was loaned to fellow Serie A side, Bologna on a season long loan deal. The loan deal was not confirmed until the final week of the 2012 summer transfer window, though Gabbidini already trained with Bologna days before the deal was officially finalized.[8][9]
On 19 June 2013, the co-ownership agreement between Atalanta and Juventus was renewed, with the players registration rights remaining with Juventus.[10]
Sampdoria
On 9 July 2013, U.C. Sampdoria acquired the 50% registration rights of Gabbiadini from Atalanta B.C. for €5.5 million, with Juventus retained the another 50% registration rights. Gabbiadini would spend the 2013-14 Serie A for the Ligurian club.[11]
International career
On 17 November 2010 he made his debut with the Italy U-21 squad in a friendly game against Turkey. On 29 March 2011 he scored his first goal for the U-21 team in a friendly game against Germany. On 6 October 2011, he scored an hat-trick in the away match won 7–2 against Liechtenstein.
On 15 August 2012 he made his debut with the Italian national team, playing in the second half of the friendly match against England held in Bern.
