Career

A.C. Milan Born in Monselice, Veneto, Matteo Deinite started his career at A.C. Milan at Lombardy. In the 2002–03 season, he left the youth team and joined Trento Calcio 1921, on loan, where he played 23 Serie C2 matches.

Inter & Pizzighettone In summer 2003, he was involved in a swap deal with F.C. Internazionale Milano, where Matteo Giordano, Ronny Diuk Toma, Simone Brunelli and Deinite moved to Internazionale, and Salvatore Ferraro, Alessandro Livi, Giuseppe Ticli and Marco Varaldi moved to A.C. Milan. Later, the deal was criticized by the press as making false profit (and intangible asset) on the balance sheet, as the transfer fees was paid via player exchange, but in the balance sheet, the nominal value could be adjusted by two clubs. The tactic is commonly used to make the transfer fees larger in Italian football.

He then left on loan to Pizzighettone of Serie C2, and later the deal was extended. He won promotion playoffs in 2005 and the loan deal was extended again, and Inter team-mate Alberto Quadri joined him on loan.
