Simone Verdi (born 12 July 1992) is an Italian footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Eibar, on loan from Milan.

Club career

Early career

Verdi started playing football with amateur club Audax Travacò, before joining Milan at the age of 11.[1]

He made his professional debut for the club, aged 17, in a Coppa Italia game against Novara, on 13 January 2010.[2] He then made his second appearance two weeks later, in the quarter-final against Udinese, which Milan lost 0–1.[3] While playing for the under-20 squad, the young striker scored his first goal at the San Siro in the return leg of the Primavera Cup final, on 14 April 2010. Milan went on to win the match 2–0, as Verdi also made an assist, and secured the trophy 3–1 on aggregate.[4][5] Here, he was nicknamed Verdinho, as his playing style resembled that of a Brazilian.[6]

In May 2010, Milan CEO Adriano Galliani announced that Verdi, along with three other teammates, was expected to join the senior team permanently for the 2010–11 season.[7] Subsequently, Verdi signed his first professional contract with the club.[8] However, he continued playing mainly in the youth team.[9]

Torino

At the beginning of the 2011–12 season, Verdi transferred to Serie B club Torino in a co-ownership deal for €2.5 million (exchanged with Gianmario Comi and €150,000 cash).[10][11][12] He made his official debut for the club in the first league game of the season, a 2–1 away win against Ascoli on 27 August 2011.[13] He played 12 games in Serie B in the 2011–12 season with Torino, which finished in 2nd place and gained promotion to Serie A.[14]

In 2012–13, he played 4 games in Serie A, making his official debut on 30 September 2012 as a substitute against Atalanta.[15]

Juve Stabia (loan)

On 23 January 2013 he was loaned to Juve Stabia of Serie B for the remainder of the season.[14] In the summer of 2013 the co-ownership agreement between Milan and Torino was renewed for an additional year.[16]

Empoli (loan)

For 2013–14, he was loaned to Empoli, in Serie B.[17] He played his first match for the Azzurri during the second round of Coppa Italia; won 5–1 against Südtirol, in which he also scored his first goal.[14] On 23 November 2013 he scored his first goal in Serie B, a 3–1 in a win away at Spezia.[18] He closed the season with 5 goals in 39 appearances, contributing to the promotion in Serie A of the Tuscans.[19]

On 18 June 2014 the co-ownership between Torino and Milan was renewed for a third year,[20] with Verdi loaned to Empoli again. He scored his first goal in Serie A on 7 December 2014, the momentary advantage away to Napoli, finishing 2–2. On 20 January 2015 he scored his first goal in Coppa Italia against A.S. Roma, lost in extra time.

Return to Milan / Eibar (loan)

In June of 2015, Milan and Torino couldnt agree on a co ownership deal. Verdi's future was determined with a blind auction which Milan won. Milan paid a fee of 450,000 Euros for full ownership of Verdi.[citation needed] However, for 2015–16 season he was loaned to SD Eibar with the Basque side having an option to buy.[21]

International career

On 22 September 2010 he was called up to the Italy under-19 to play a game against the Serbia under-19.[22]

On 31 May 2014 he was called up to the Italy under-21 side[23] for which he made his debut on 4 June in the 4–0 friendly win over Montenegro.

Style of play

An ambidextrous trequartista that can adapt to all the roles of an offensive midfielder, he is noted for his dribbling, technique and a remarkable speed on the ball.[24]
