He returned to Sampdoria, who had been promoted back to Serie A for the 2003–04 season, and played three games. He then spent the 2004–05 season on loan with Pescara in Serie B. He made his debut for Pescara on 11 September 2004 as a 58th-minute substitute in a 2–1 home defeat to Piacenza. His first goal for the club came on 30 October in a 2–0 away win over Salernitana. He made a total of 34 appearances, scoring four goals.
The following season he returned to Cremonese on loan, who had by then been promoted to Serie B. He made 32 appearances, scoring one goal as the club were relegated back to Serie C. Later in 2006 he signed for Ascoli in Serie A in co-ownership deal for €500 and made his debut on 15 October 2006 in a 2–0 home defeat to Livorno.
