Club career
Early career
Born and raised in the province of Bergamo, Astori started playing football with local team Pontisola before joining Milan in 2001.[2] He spent five years in the club's youth system, after which time he was sent on two consecutive loan spells to Serie C1 clubs Pizzighettone and Cremonese for the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons respectively.[3][4]
Cagliari
At the beginning of the 2008–09 season, Astori was signed by Serie A club Cagliari in a co-ownership deal with Milan,[5] for €1 million.[6] He made his official debut in the top-flight during an away game against Siena on 14 September 2008, coming on as a substitute in the second half.[7]
In the summer transfer window 2009, the club renewed their ownership with AC Milan to keep Astori at Cagliari for another year.[8] Astori replaced Luis Diego López and made 34 appearance and scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 draw against Fiorentina on 31 January 2010. On 28 February 2010, Astori scored his second goal in a 2–1 loss against Chievo. On 3 April 2010, Astori scored an own goal against A.C. Milan to allow Milan scored the third goal in the match which Cagliari lost 3–2. During his second season at Cagliari, rumours spread when A.C. Milan was keen to sign Astori but nothing happened. Despite the rumours, Astori was keen to rejoin AC Milan in the summer.[9]
The club renewed their ownership with AC Milan to keep Astori at Cagliari for another year in June 2010.[8]
On 22 June 2011 the club bought the residual 50% registration rights from Milan for another €3.5 million. (pre-agreed €1 million tagged in 2008 and additional €2.5 million)[10][11] After making 8 appearance at the start of the season, Astori suffered a Fractured Foot in a match against Napoli on 23 October 2011 following an intervention by Ezequiel Lavezzi and have to come off on the 21 minutes in a 0–0 draw. His injury resulted him out for 3 months.[12]
On 9 July 2012, Astori revealed he turned down a move to Russian side Spartak Moscow worth 15 million euro (£11.9 million) fee after agreement between two clubs. Astori explained turning down a move to Spartak Moscow because he wanted to stay at Cagliari and achieve his goals with the club.[13]
Roma
On 24 July 2014, Cagliari announced Astori's move to Roma on a season-long loan deal. The transfer was settled in €2 million and Roma holds the option to make it permanent at the end of the season for another €5 million.[14][15]
Fiorentina
On 4 August 2015, Astori signed on loan for Fiorentina until the end of the season with an option to buy.[16]
International career
Astori played 4 games for Italy's under-18 team, beginning in 2004. He did not receive any further call-up at higher levels of youth international football.[17]
Astori got his first call-up for the senior team under newly appointed coach Cesare Prandelli who named him in the squad for a friendly against Côte d'Ivoire, to be played on 10 August 2010,[18] however, he was left as an unused substitute.[19] He made his full debut fot Italy on 29 March 2011,[20] in a 2–0 friendly won against Ukraine in Kiev. He came on as a 17th-minute substitute for the injured Georgio Chiellini but was sent off with 15 minutes remaining in the second half after receiving two yellow cards.[21] Astori was a member of the Italy squad that took part at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, reaching the semi-finals, only to suffer a penalty shoot-out defeat to Spain; he scored a goal against Uruguay in the third place match, as Italy prevailed on penalties to win the bronze-medal, following a 2–2 draw after extra time.[22]
Playing style
Astori is a tall, consistent, and physically strong left-footed central defender, with good aerial ability and reliable technique,[23] who is comfortable in both a three-man or a four-man defence.[24]
