Alberto Masi (born 2 September 1992) is an Italian footballer who plays as a defender for Serie B side Ternana Calcio.
Born in Genoa, Liguria region, Masi started his career at Serie A club U.C. Sampdoria. He was the member of U17 youth team during the 2008–09 season. That season, he was booked 6 times in the league and 3 times in the playoffs.
Masi only played a single season with Sampdoria's reserve squad, despite being eligible to play 3 seasons, from age 18 to 20 (2009 to 2012). He also spent the 2009-10 Serie A campaign, on loan at Lavagnese in the 2009–10 Serie D (also within the Genoa province) before returning to the port city. Masi played 15 out of possible 26 matches of the reserve league for Samp, missing one match due to suspension, after being booked 5 times that season. Sampdoria finished as the 8th of Group A that season, slipping from 1st of Group A (losing semi-finalists in playoffs) last season .
On 8 July 2011 Masi left Sampdoria once again for F.C. Pro Vercelli along with teammate Tommaso Cancellotti. Sampdoria gifted the Piedmont club half of the registration rights for a fee of €500 each, in exchange for a chance to develop the players.
Masi became one of the protagonist of the club promotion as playoffs winner of 2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione. However Masi himself also suspended two times, both due to being sent off (one direct sent off, one due to second caution). He was also booked 4 times, including the 2 aforementioned. Moreover, Masi also booked once in the playoffs.
At the end of season both clubs failed to agree a price for Masi before the deadline, thus both clubs submitted a bid in a sealed envelope to the Lega Serie B in order to buy the shares from opposite side. On 23 June 2012 Lega Serie B announced that Pro Vercelli had bidded a higher price to buy Masi outright from Sampdoria.
