Cristian Pasquato (born 20 July 1989 in Padua) is an Italian footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder/winger for Serie A club U.S. Lecce on loan from Juventus.

Club career

Juventus

Born in 1989, he joined Juventus in 2003. In 2006 he reached the Primavera team after winning the Allievi title. A free kick specialist, he scored the winner against Internazionale in the Supercoppa Primavera final.^[1] After 6 years in the Juventus youth sector, Pasquato began to earn senior call-ups during the 2007-2008 Serie A season, and made his first team debut on the final matchday of the 2007–08 Serie A, as a second half substitute. Following the Primavera final, Pasquato was promoted to the first team.

He continued with the Juventus first team during the 2008–2009 pre-season, and impressed throughout the summer. He also competed with the team in the UEFA Champions League. On August 24, 2008 it was confirmed that the striker had signed for Empoli F.C. on a one-year loan.^[2] On July 1, 2009, Pasquato returned to Juventus, but his loan was extended for one more season soon after. During the first half of the 2009-10 Serie B season, Pasquato managed 12 Serie B appearances with one goal.

During the winter market, however, Pasquato returned to Juventus who then sent the young midfielder on loan to U.S. Triestina Calcio, also of the Italian Serie B. He officially joined the club in January 2010. During his loan with the club from Trieste, Pasquato made 16 league appearances and scored 1 goal. His efforts were not enough, however, to save the club from relegation to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione.

On July 1, 2010, he officially returned to Juventus, and joined his teammates and had coach for the clubs' first meeting on July 2, 2010, in Vinovo.^[3] on August 6, 2010 he joined to Modena on loan. On August 31, 2011 Pasquato was once again sent out on loan by Juventus, this time to fellow Serie A club Lecce along with Manuel Giandonato on a season-long loan.

International career

Pasquato has represented Italy at every youth level from Under-15 to Under-21.

On 25 March 2009, he made his debut with the Italy U-21 squad in a friendly match against Austria.
