Marco Borriello (born 18 June 1982) is an Italian footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Serie A club Cagliari.
Throughout his career, Borriello has previously played for several other Italian clubs, including Milan, Sampdoria, Treviso, Reggina, Empoli, Triestina, Juventus, Roma, Carpi, Atalanta as well as English side West Ham United. At international level, he has represented the Italy national team and took part at UEFA Euro 2008.
Borriello came up through the ranks of Milan but was transferred to Treviso on loan before having the chance to prove himself at the first team. He scored eight goals for Treviso reserves in the 2000–01 season. After another move ca. January 2001, he made his professional debut for Triestina in 2000–01 Serie C2 (the fourth division), subsequently returning to Treviso in June 2001, via Milan. His 10 goals in 27 Serie C1 games with Treviso led to Milan's recalling him in June 2002.
Borriello made his Serie A debut for Milan on 21 September 2002 against Perugia but failed to establish himself and spent much of the next few years on loan at other Serie A clubs.
