Salvatore Aronica (born 20 January 1978) is an Italian association football defender who currently plays for Serie A club Napoli.
[edit] Biography
Aronica spent his early career with Juventus, but he was sent to Crotone on loan. The deal became co-ownership deal during 2000–01 and 2001–02 season. In June 2002 Aronica returned to Juventus but loaned to Serie B side Ascoli with option to purchase. However, in the next season he moved to Messina from Juventus along with Luigi Lavecchia and Andrea Gentile in another co-ownership deal. Aronica was valued €1 million at that time, thus Messina purchased half for €500,000. In June 2006, Messina purchased Aronica for undisclosed fee (around €240,000 to €300,000) and Lavecchia and Gentile outright for free. However, in July 2006 he was sold to Reggina.
He was signed by Napoli on 1 September 2008, for €2,675,000,[1] With the departed Maurizio Domizzi and Erminio Rullo, Aronica was featured as left central back or left wingback ahead Mirko Savini in the 3-5-2 formation, shared the role along with Luigi Vitale (as left wingback).
In 2010-11 season he started to play with Paolo Cannavaro and Hugo Campagnaro constantly. Despite they played well that season, the club lack of replacement made Napoli difficult to face both 2011–12 UEFA Champions League and 2011–12 Serie A, made the club slipped from the third place in 2010–11 season to mid-table (as of mid-season)
