Club career

Giannetti signed on loan for Juventus from Siena for the 2010–11 season.[1] He made his professional debut for Juventus in the UEFA Europa League, in a match against Austrian team Red Bull Salzburg on 4 November 2010.[2] Giannetti scored his first goal for Juventus on 16 December 2010 in a UEFA Europa League match against English team Manchester City.[3] He made his Serie A debut one month later, on 16 January 2011, as a starter in a home league game against Bari.

On 31 August 2012, he was signed by Serie B club Cittadella.[5]

In the 2013–14 Serie B season, he became a main striker in the first team of Siena, scoring 7 league goals.

On 26 July 2018, Giannetti signed to Livorno a loan until 30 June 2019.[10]
