There are a total of 7 players from Italy in the history of Sevilla in Spain, and Enzo Maresca is the first Italian player signed in the club's history and a meritorious player of the club. After him, Sevilla brought in 6 more Italian players, but none of them did anything, and the La Liga trip was a painful memory for them!
Enzo Maresca , midfielder, was born on 10 February 1980 in Ponte Cagnano, Italy. He joined Juventus in July 2005 for €2.5 million on a four-year contract. He soon became a key player for the team, scoring eight goals in 29 games in his first season in La Liga, and in the UEFA Cup final against Middlesbrough (4:0), he was also named MVP, after which he donated a prize of £10,000 to the San Juan de Dios Hospital in Seville. During his time with Sevilla, he made 96 appearances in La Liga, scoring 13 goals and winning two UEFA Cups (2005–06, 2006–07), the Copa del Rey (2006–07), the UEFA Super Cup (2006) and the Spanish Super Cup (2007). He left in July 2009 to join Olympiacos for €1.5 million, and in December 2010 he returned to La Liga as a free agent for Malaga, where he played for more than two seasons.
Morgan De Sanctis ( goalkeeper ) was born on March 26, 1977 in Guardia Grayle , Italy. On 8 June 2007, Desanctis unilaterally terminated his contract with Udinese. He then signed a four-year contract with Sevilla, and as Udinese and DeSanquetis failed to agree on compensation, Udinese sued DeSanquetis and Sevilla against FIFA to resolve the dispute. The transfer dispute, which has left him in a state of flux, has affected his competitive form, and during his time at Sevilla he has only made eight appearances in La Liga, during which time he was also loaned to Galatasaray, Turkey, leaving in July 2009 to sign for Napoli for 1.5 million euros.
Tiberio Guarente , midfielder, was born on 1 November 1985 in Pisa, Italy. In July 2010, he joined the Atlanta team for 5.5 million euros and signed a five-year contract. He made only 7 appearances in his debut La Liga season due to a knee injury, and in the 2011/12 La Liga season he returned from an old injury, making only three appearances for the team. He was then loaned back to Italy by Sevilla and played for Bologna, Catania and Chievo before leaving in July 2014 to join Empoli.
Luca Cigarini , back-back , was born on June 20, 1986 in Montecchio Emilia , Italy. In August 2010, Sevilla came on loan from Napoli for a €300,000 loan fee with a preferential buyout clause. He made only 6 appearances in La Liga in 2010/11, returning to Napoli after expiring his loan spell without activating the priority buyout clause. He currently plays for Serie A side Crotone, although the team has been relegated early this season.
Marco Andreolli is a centre-back born on 10 June 1986 in Ponte de Lóglio, Italy. A member of the Inter Youth Academy, Sevilla came on loan from Inter Milan in August 2015 for a loan fee of €100,000, making only seven appearances for the team in la Liga in 2015/16 before returning to Inter Milan after the loan period expired. The 33-year-old Andreoli has not found a home since his contract with Chievo in July 2019 and is currently in retirement.
Ciro Immobile, striker, was born on 20 February 1990 in Torre Annunziata, Italy. After an awkward season at Borussia Dortmund in 2014/15, in July 2015 he was loaned by Borussia Dortmund to play for sevilla for one season, for which Sevilla paid a loan fee of 3 million euros and had a preferential buyout clause, and in January 2016 Sevilla activated the buyout clause and paid 11 million euros to officially sign it. Doubtfully, he was then loaned to Torino, Italy, and at the end of the 2015/16 season, Sevilla transferred it to Lazio for 9.45 million euros. During his time at Sevilla, Immobile made 8 appearances in La Liga, scoring 2 goals.
Salvatore Sirigu is a goalkeeper born on 12 January 1987 in Nuoro, Italy. Sirigu, who had already lost his main position at Paris Saint-Germain in August 2016, was loaned to Sevilla. He made his La Liga debut on 17 September in a 1–1 draw away to Eibar. A week later, during the away game against Athletic Bilbao, he was sent off for elbowing Aduris, because the team had used up three substitutions at that time, only captain Vicente Ebola could guard the goal, he failed to save Aduris penalty, the team eventually lost 1:3, after the game he was suspended by the Spanish Football Association for two additional games, he lost the team's starting position. Sevilla terminated his loan contract during the winter break, and then he was loaned by Paris to Osasuna, who was struggling in the relegation zone, and he made 18 appearances for the rest of the season, but Osasuna was not strong enough, and was relegated to La Liga at the end of the season.
