Andrea Poli

Andrea Poli is a midfielder for AC Milan. He was born on 29 September 1989 in Vittorio Veneto, Italy.

Andrea began his professional career in 2006 when he signed for F.C. Treviso. Poli has been a student at the club’s youth academy until his promotion to the club’s senior squad. The 2006/07 season at Treviso wasn’t exactly successful for Andrea due to mere 4 appearances.

In 2007 Andrea signed a long-term contract with Sampdoria. During his debut season at the club Andrea didn’t feature as much as he’d like to. A season later the management of Sampdoria decided to send Poli out on loan to Serie B Sassuolo Calcio where he scored 5 goals in 32 appearances for the 2008/09 season.

After returning to Sampdoria Andrea was periodically allowed to start matches of the home club. But it wasn’t enough for the young midfielder who wanted to join the Italian national team.

In 2011 Sampdoria loaned Poli to Inter. Andrea was eager and excited to play for Italian Serie A giants. During the 2011/12 season Andrea appeared in 20 games for the Nerazzurri.

In the summer 2013 Milan bought out his contract.

From 2006 to 2010 Andrea was regularly called up to represent various Italian youth teams. For 4 years of international career Poli wasn capped 36 times and scored 15 goals. Since 2012 Poli has represented the Italy national football team.
