Alberto Paloschi (Italian pronunciation: [alˈbɛrto paˈloski]; born 4 January 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Atalanta.
Paloschi won the National Under-17s Championship with Milan in the 2006–07 season. He scored 3 goals in a 4–0 win over Genoa in the final.
Paloschi made his professional debut on 20 December 2007, scoring in the first leg of the Coppa Italia round of 16 against Catania, and scored a second goal in the return leg on 16 January 2008.
He made his Serie A debut on 10 February 2008 against Siena replacing Serginho, and scored the game's only goal with his first touch, just seventeen seconds after coming on. He started the next Serie A match against Livorno. On 19 March he scored Milan's only goal in a 2–1 home loss against Sampdoria.
Upon Ronaldinho's signing for the club, Paloschi has said that, as his first-team chances were threatened, he would consider a move (preferably on loan) away from San Siro. On 27 August he moved to Parma, who'd just been relegated to Serie B in a co-ownership deal worth €2.25 million. He scored 12 goals in his first season with Parma, helping the club return to the top flight after only one season in the Serie B. In June 2009, Milan and Parma reached an agreement which would see Paloschi return to Parma for the 2009–10 season.
