Marco Varaldi (born 21 July 1982) is an Italian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. He spent his whole professional career at Serie C1 and Serie C2.
Varaldi started his career at Internazionale. In 2000-01 season, he occasionally played as unused bench for the first team, including 2000 Supercoppa Italiana. He also played for Primavera Team (U20 Youth Team) at 2001 Torneo di Viareggio.
He then left on loan to Giulianova of Serie C1, where he worked as Liam Ardigo's backup. In the second season, he played ahead Ardigo. But he was not played in the relegation playoffs that Giulianova won.
In June 2003, he was involved in a swap deal between Inter and A.C. Milan, which Varaldi (50% valued €1.75 million), Alessandro Livi (50% valued €1.725 million), Salvatore Ferraro (50% valued €1.75 million) and Giuseppe Ticli (50% valued €1.75 million) moved to AC Milan; Matteo Giordano (50% valued €1.5 million), Ronny Toma (50% valued €1.5 million), Simone Brunelli (50% valued €1.5 million) and Matteo Deinite (50% valued €1.5 million) moved to Inter. Later the deal was criticized by press as made false profit to balance sheet, as the transfer fees were paid via player exchange, but on the balance sheet, the nominal value could be adjusted by the two clubs. The tactic is commonly used to make the transfer fees larger in Italian football.
