In the 2000 summer he moved to Torino FC, achieving promotion to Serie A in his debut season whilst appearing in 33 games. From January 2004, Castellini served a loan at hometown's Brescia Calcio in the top division – Torino had been again relegated – after which he was released by ''Toro''. In the ensuing summer he moved abroad and signed with Real Betis of Spain, on a five-year contract;〔(Vitesse agree Yakubu loan ); UEFA.com, 13 July 2004〕 however, his spell in Andalusia would be disastrous, as he never dislodged veteran Luis Fernández from his starting position, also suffering with injuries (torn ligaments and cartilage in his right knee). After cancelling his link to Betis, Castellini returned to his country in the summer of 2006, joining Parma F.C. and being an automatic first-choice from the beginning. In his third season he played in 41 out of 42 matches, helping the team return to Serie A after only one year. In the 2009–10 campaign, Castellini often played as wingback in a 3–5–2 or 5–3–2 formation, with Cristian Zaccardo in the other flank. He helped Parma to a final eighth position, narrowly missing out on qualification to the UEFA Europa League. On 26 August 2010 Castellini was loaned to A.S. Roma, as cover for John Arne Riise.〔(Acquisto a titolo temporaneo, con diritto di opzione per l’acquisizione a titolo definitivo, dei diritti alle prestazioni sportive del calciatore Paolo Castellini (Temporary acquisition, with option for permanent transfer of footballer Paolo Castellini) ); Roma's official website, 26 August 2010 〕 On 24 June 2011, in the same predicament, he signed for U.C. Sampdoria in the second division. Castellini moved to the Genoa side on a permanent basis on 9 July 2012, with Jonathan Biabiany heading in the opposite direction.〔(Castellini resta alla Sampdoria, Biabiany al Parma (Castellini stays with Sampdoria, Biabiany to Parma) ); Sampdoria's official website, 9 July 2012 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paolo Castellini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
