Giacomo Beretta (born 14 March 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie B club Pro Vercelli, on loan from Milan.

Club career

Early years

Beretta joined Milan in the summer of 2009, in a co-ownership deal with his former club Albinoleffe for €900,000.[1][2] He spent the season playing for Milan's under-20 side, who won the Coppa Italia Primavera 25 years after the team's last success in the competition,[3] although he missed several games throughout the year due to injury.[4]

Milan (2010–11)

At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Beretta's playing rights were fully purchased by Milan for a fee of €1M.[5][6] However, half of them were subsequently sold for €4M to Genoa in a new co-ownership deal on 23 August,[6] with Milan keeping the actual use of the player for the season thanks to a loan deal.[6][7] The then 18-year-old forward kept playing for the under-20 team, but also made his official first team deabut on 1 May 2011, in a Serie A game against Bologna.[8]

Ascoli and Juve Stabia (2011–12)

For the 2011–12 season, Beretta's co-ownership between Milan and Genoa was renewed,[9] but he was loaned out to Serie B side Ascoli.[10] Beretta made up a total of 15 appearances (13 in the league and two in 2011–12 Coppa Italia) and one goal, before moving to Juve Stabia during the January transfer window.[11]

Pavia (2012–13)

For the 2012–13 season Beretta was loaned out to Prima Divisione club Pavia.[12]

Lecce (2013–14)

At the start of the 2013–14 campaign, Milan bought back Beretta for €2 million.[13][14] However, he was loaned out to Prima Divisione club Lecce.[15]

Pro Vercelli (2014–present)

For the 2014–15 season he was loaned out again, this time to Pro Vercelli.[16] The deal was renewed for one more season in July 2015.[17]

International career

Beretta won 15 caps and scored 10 goals for Italy U-17 in 2009.[18] He scored 3 goals in all 3 matches of 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship elite qualification. In the final tournament he scored once in 4 appearances. He was also part of the squad that took part in the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, making 4 appearances and scoring a goal in the tournament (against United States).[19]

Beretta went on to be capped for Italy U-19, winning 7 caps and scoring one goal between 2010 and 2011,[18] as well as featuring in 11 games for the U-20 side from 2010 to 2014.[18]
