Andrea Poli (born 29 September 1989) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Milan.
He started his career in Serie B with his native club Treviso. He made his professional debut aged just 17 years, 2 months and 10 days under manager Ezio Rossi, in a 3-2 loss against Genoa C.F.C. on the 9th of December 2006. On the 31st of January 2007 he was signed by Serie A club Sampdoria in a joint ownership deal, but immediately loaned back to Treviso until officially becaming a member of Sampdoria at the end of the season. He made three further appearances for Treviso for the 06/07 season.
On 4 November 2007 he made his Serie A debut in a 0–3 win against Cagliari, under manager Walter Mazzarri, aged 18 years, 1 month and 6 days. Andrea also made the bench on six other occasions in the 07/08 season. He was also part of the Primaverasquad that won the Campionato Primavera.
In the 2008–09 season he was loaned out to the Serie B club Sassuolo in order to gain experience. At Sassuolo he had a breakout season, making 33 appearances between the Coppa Italia and Serie B and managed five goals and three assists. A season highlight was scoring both of Sassuolo's goals against U.S. Grosseto F.C. in a 2-1 away win. During the season Andrea was also part of Italy's u19, u20 and u21 youth sides.
Upon his return to Sampdoria in the summer of 2009 he became a key player of the side that ended 4th in the league. He made 32 appearances playing as a central midfield playmaker and managed three assists. The next season Poli played less due to injuries and lack of form in Sampdoria side that endured a disastrous season. The side were knocked out of UEFA Champions League qualifying by SV Werder Bremen, were knocked out of the Europa League at the group stage and were eventually relegated from Serie A, finishing fourteen places lower than they did the last season.
