Paolo Sammarco (born 17 March 1983) is an Italian football midfielder, currently playing for Serie A side Frosinone.
A product of European giants A.C. Milan's youth system, Sammarco never played a game for the side, serving consecutive loans: from 2002–04 in Serie C1, and from 2004–07 with first division side A.C. ChievoVerona. Cheivo also purchased half of the registration rights for €1.1 million (Martino Olivetti plus €100,000) in June 2003. In June 2006 Milan bought back Sammarco for undisclosed fee, with Olivetti moved back to Chievo for €250,000.
On 22 June 2007, U.C. Sampdoria announced Sammarco, in another co-ownership deal with Milan, for €1.5 million fee and a reported €400,000 wage. In Sampdoria, he broke through, playing almost every league game in a team that achieved UEFA Cup qualification, under coach Walter Mazzarri.
In June 2008, Sampdoria gained full ownership of Sammarco for another €2.5 million, made his valued increased to €4 million (made Milan register a financial income of €1 million as the half retained had increased from €1.5 million to €2.5 million) Sammarco also signed a new contract which lasted until 30 June 2013 during 2009–10 season. On 25 August 2009 he was loaned to Udinese for one season, for a reported wage of €250,000. Sammarco was a sub under Luigi Delneri at the first match of 2009–10 Serie A.
On returning to Sampdoria for the beginning of the 2010–11 season, he did not appear in any games, as the club now hired Domenico Di Carlo as coach. However, his wage was increased to €700,000. He was loaned to Cesena on 30 December 2010 for the rest of the season.
