Andrea Raggi (Italian pronunciation: [anˈdrɛa ˈraddʒi]; born 24 June 1984) is an Italian football defender, currently playing for AS Monaco FC.
Career
Empoli
He started his footballing career with Empoli, where he spent a total of four seasons with the first team.
Palermo
On 28 May 2008 Empoli FC announced to have sold him to Palermo for €7 million[1][2] in four-year contract.
His failure to break into the first team led Palermo to send the player out on loan to a number of teams: on January 2009 Raggi joined Sampdoria, then moving again to spend the whole 2009–10 season with Bologna.
Bari
On July 2010 he was announced to have been loaned out for a third consecutive time, this time to Bari.[3] He was out-favoured by Giampiero Ventura in mid-season, who originally expected Raggi to play in centre-back but never happened. Instead, Raggi was the starting right-back as Andrea Masiello, originally a right-back, remained as temporary centre-back which A.Masiello already played since January 2010. He also played as a left-back to replace Alessandro Parisi against Roma on 12 December (round 16), since then he remained as the left-back in round 17, 18 and 19 but did not play against Juventus . In round 21 he returned to right-back as left-back in round 22 again. After the closure of winter transfer window, Parisi and A.Masiello re-took the fullbacks position, after the signing of centre-back Kamil Glik. Raggi blamed Ventura did not use him well after Ventura was sacked.[4] Under Ventura, he started 11 times in Serie A and only 3 times under Bortolo Mutti.
Bologna
The following August he permanently moved to Bologna, for €200,000.[5][6]
Monaco
In July 2012 he signed three-year contract with Monaco.
International
He made his Italy U-21 debut against England U-21s in March 2007.
