Marco Ezio Fossati (born 5 October 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Romanian Liga I club Universitatea Cluj.
Born in Monza, in the Milan metropolitan area, Fossati started playing football as a child with amateur team Cimiano in 2001, [2] before joining A.C. Milan's youth system at the start of the 2002–03 season. [3] Five years later he left for city rival Internazionale, [4] where he went on to spend three seasons, playing for the Allievi (under-17) and Primavera (under-20) sides, [5] [6] [7] as well as making three appearances with the first team in friendly matches. [8] [9] [10] However, in July 2010 Fossati was transferred back to Milan, along with Attila Filkor and Cristian Daminuţă, [11] for a total fee of €7 million. [12] He spent the 2010–11 season playing for Milan's Primavera (under-20) side. [13]
At the start of the 2011–12 season Fossati was sent out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Latina, [14] making his official debut for the club on 4 September 2011, in a 1–1 draw against Siracusa. [15] He went on to score two goals in 22 league appearances. The following season, Fossati joined Serie B side Ascoli on another loan spell. [16] For the 2013–14 campaign he moved to Bari, another Serie B club, once again on a loan deal. [17]
On 24 June 2015, Fossati joined Cagliari on a three-year contract. [18] After a season he left the club.
On 8 June 2016, Fossati was signed by Verona on loan, with an obligation to sign. As part of the deal, goalkeeper Rafael moved to opposite direction in a definitive deal. [19] On 20 June 2017, Cagliari confirmed the selling of Fossati to Verona outright. [20]
On 5 January 2019, he signed a 1.5-year contract with Monza. [21]
On 11 February 2021, Fossati was sent on a six-month loan to Croatian First Football League side HNK Hajduk Split. [22] He joined Hajduk Split permanently on 31 August. [23]
On 23 September 2023, Fossati joined Romanian Liga I club Universitatea Cluj. [24]
Fossati started his youth international career in a training camp for players born in 1992 and 1993. [25] He then played his first match in Saarland quadrangular tournament. [26] He played all three matches in 2009 U-17 Euro qualifying, [27] [28] [29] and all three matches in the elite round. In the final round Azzurrini lost to Germany in semi-final, but still qualified for 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup. At the World Junior Cup, he played all five matches. After a call-up to Italy U-19 team in September 2010, he never received a call-up again. [30]
