[edit] Club career
Born in Assisi in the province of Perugia, Ranocchia started his career at Perugia then in Arezzo. Ranocchia played for Arezzo's Primavera team in 2005–06 season[1] and promoted to the first team in the following year. He played one season at Serie B and followed the team to play at Serie C1.
In August 2008, Genoa purchased half of the registration rights for €1.55 million[2] and sent him on loan to Bari, where he won the Serie B Championship. On 26 June 2009 Genoa have signed him outright for another €2.45 million, made Genoa paid €4 million in total within a year.[2][3]
He made his Serie A debut with Bari in the 2009–10 season, forming a widely praised centre-back duo of youngsters with Leonardo Bonucci. Unfortunately, in January he suffered a serious season ending knee injury.
On 1 July 2010 he moved back to Genoa. After a link with Internazionale in February 2010, the clubs agreed a deal in June 2010 which involved the transfer of young striker Mattia Destro.[4] The transfer became official on 20 July 2010, which Inter signed half of the registration rights of Ranocchia[5] for €6.5 million[6] and sent Destro on loan to Genoa with option to sign him in co-ownership deal (who later purchased outright for €4.5 million).[7] Ranocchia also loaned back to Genoa for a season.[5]
On 27 December 2010, Internazionale bought full ownership from Genoa for €12.5 million (made him valued €19 million in total)[8] which were later confirmed by Genoa President Enrico Preziosi who expressed his delight at doing business with Inter. The president of Inter, Moratti, spoke on the transfer to Sky Italia and said: "Finally an Italian. We had kept an eye on him from before. It is our project to go ahead with young players."[9] On 9 January 2011, Ranocchia made his debut against Catania where Inter won the match 2-1. He made his Champions League debut against Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Round of 16.
