Simone Romagnoli

Simone Romagnoli (born 9 February 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Frosinone.

Early career
Born in Cremona, Romagnoli joined Milan from Cremonese in January 2007, shortly before turning 17. Throughout his time in the club's youth system, he has been a member of the under-17 squad who won the Campionato Nazionale Allievi in 2007, as well as the captain of the under-20 side who won the Coppa Italia Primavera in 2010, 25 years after their last success.

During the 2009–10 season, Romagnoli also started being selected for the first-team. In particular, he was named on the bench for a league match against Palermo, though he did not come on.

Foggia

He made his official debut for the club in the first game of the Coppa Italia Lega Pro group stage against L'Aquila — which Foggia won 2–1 – on 14 August 2010. The next week, in the first league game of the season, he also scored his maiden goal with a header from a corner.

Pescara
On 8 July 2011, after the end of the loan to the Foggia, he moved from Milan to the Serie B team Pescara on a co-ownership deal.
