Luca Saudati (born 18 January 1978 in Milan) is an Italian footballer who plays as a winger or as a second striker.
Saudati started his career at the A.C. Milan youth system. After relatively unsuccessful loan stints at various clubs - including AC Lugano of the Swiss Super League, Monza of Serie B, Lecco and Como of Serie C1, Empoli of Serie B and Perugia of Serie A - he eventually joined Atalanta of Serie A in June 2001, tagged for 18 billion Italian lire. as part of Massimo Donati and Cristian Zenoni's deal to Milan for 60 billion lire.
However, after scoring no goals in a whole season for Atalanta, he was loaned out again to Empoli of Serie A in the summer of 2002 after poor performance. He broke his leg in November, ruling him out of training and play. When he returned to Atalanta in the summer of 2003, they had dropped to Serie B; despite them being promoted that season, he made just 5 appearances and was loaned once again to Empoli of Serie B in January 2005.
He returned to Atalanta once again in summer 2005, again in Serie B. He scored 3 goals in 12 games before loaned out again to Serie A team U.S. Lecce, to join his former coach Silvio Baldini while at Empoli during the 2002–03 season, but soon Baldini was sacked by the club and Saudati only made 4 appearances in Serie A.
