Samuele Longo (born 12 January 1992) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie C Group B club Milan Futuro, the reserve team of Serie A club AC Milan.
Born in Valdobbiadene, Province of Treviso, Veneto, Longo started his career at Treviso FBC 1993. He was the member of Esordienti under-13 team in 2004–05 season.[1] In January 2009 Inter Milan bought Longo and Mame Baba Thiam outright.
Longo spent the rest of 2008–09 season in Treviso's Allievi Nazionali under-17 team[2] [3] in a temporary deal before formally became an Inter player on 1 July 2009.
Under Andrea Stramaccioni, Longo scored 5 goals in 2011–12 NextGen series as one of the team that won the tournament; his role also sightly changed after the arrival of Marko Livaja as new centre forward, in 4–2–3–1 (and later 4–3–3/4–3–2–1 formation under Daniele Bernazzani). He was also instrumental in the Primavera final stages, netting four goals in three matches (including a brace in the final against Lazio).[6]
Longo made his professional debut on 13 May 2012, playing the last 14 minutes of a 1–3 away loss against Lazio.[11]
Longo made his international debut on 9 August, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against Hajduk Split for the season's Europa League.[16]
On 28 August 2012 Longo joined Spanish side RCD Espanyol of La Liga on a season-long loan deal,[17] following in the footsteps of Internazionale teammate Philippe Coutinho, who spent the final six months of the 2011–12 campaign at Estadi Cornellà-El Prat. On 2 September he made his debut abroad, scoring the first of a 2–3 away loss against Levante.[18] Longo scored his second goal on the 16th, in a 3–3 home draw against Athletic Bilbao, but was later sent off due to his celebration.[19]
Longo's third goal for the Catalans came on 17 November, but in a 1–2 away defeat against Valencia CF.[20] He finished the season with 18 appearances, including 11 starts.
On 20 August 2013 Longo joined Verona, recently promoted to Serie A, in a season-long loan deal.[21] However, he only appeared twice in the season (against Cagliari and Roma), all from the bench.
On 31 January 2014 Longo joined fellow top-divisioner Rayo Vallecano on loan until the end of the season.[22]
On 16 July 2016, after another loan stints at Cagliari and Frosinone, Longo was loaned to Spanish Segunda División side Girona FC for one year.[23] He made his debut on 21 August, a debut which brought his first goal of the season as well, in a 3–3 away draw against Sevilla Atlético, in the opening league match of 2016–17 season.[24]
At the end of 2016–17 season, Longo returned to Inter. He was part of the squad in the first day of pre-season training.[25]
On 23 August 2017, Longo was sent on loan at fellow Segunda División side Tenerife for the 2017–18 season.[26]
On 5 July 2018, Longo was loaned to SD Huesca, newly promoted to La Liga, on a one-year deal with an obligation to make it permanent.[27]
On 30 January 2019, Longo joined Serie B side Cremonese on loan until 30 June 2019 with an obligation to make the deal permanent if Cremonese won promotion to Serie A.[28] [29]
On 16 August 2019, Longo joined Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña on loan until 30 June 2020 with an obligation to make the deal permanent if the club won promotion to La Liga.[30]
On 31 January 2020, Longo joined Serie B club Venezia on loan until 30 June 2020.[31]
On 5 October 2020, he signed a three-year contract with Serie B club Vicenza.[32]
On 31 January 2022, Longo joined Modena on loan with an option to buy and a conditional obligation to buy.[33]
On 3 August 2022, Longo moved to Dordrecht in the Netherlands.[34]
Samuele Longo made his U20 debut on 31 August 2011 as starting forward, the first match of coach Luigi Di Biagio. Longo scored the opening goal for Italy in the first round of 2011–12 Four Nations. In the next match he substituted Genoa team-mate Giacomo Beretta in 65th minute.[35] He also played the next match against Germany as sub for Manuel Fischnaller.[36] In the fourth match Longo was the starting forward again.[37] Rested for the fifth round, Longo returned to the squad as a substitute for Sansone in the sixth round against Germany again, scored another goal.[38]
In April 2012, Longo received his first U21 call-up. Ciro Ferrara made a more experimental squad without some U21 regular.[39] Inter team-mate Faraoni and Juventus player Marrone left the squad before the match as the match was overlapped with mid-week rescheduled week 33 of Serie A. It made the squad consist of 16 Serie B players and three Serie A players (but from the reserve) Longo, Viviani and De Sciglio, with the latter two received call-up only after the withdrew of the two original Serie A members. Despite a more immature squad, Azzurrini won Scotland 4–1. Longo scored a goal as the substitute of Ciro Immobile.[40] In June 2012 Ferrara dropped 7 players from April squad (19+2), and add 9 new and old players to the squad.[41] Longo, who had to play for the reserve, was dropped along with 3 other forwards.
Longo played 1 game in 2013 U21 Euro qualification (against Liechtenstein 6 September 2012) and 7 games in 2015 U21 Euro qualification. He was included in 27-men preliminary squad for the final tournament. He was dropped on 7 June 2015.
