Son of former footballer Flavio Destro,[4] Mattia Destro started his career with Ascoli, from his born place and one of the former clubs of his father. He was the member of Giovanissimi Nazionali in 2004–05 season, while his father Flavio was the coach of Allievi Nazionali team at that time. In mid-2005, he joined Internazionale's youth system.
Destro was the team top-scorer of Giovanissimi Nazionali team in 2005–06 season, the second team top-scorer of Allievi Nazionali in 2006–07 season (behind Mario Balotelli) and the second team top-scorer of Primavera team in 2008–09 season (behind Aiman Napoli). Destro won the league title with Allievi Nazionali team in 2008,[5] and he also played for Primavera – the senior youth team that season, scored 4 goal in the league group stage;[6][7][8][9] 1 in Primavera league playoff,[10] winning 2008 Torneo di Viareggio[11] and losing to Sampdoria in the final of the Primavera League.[12]
Destro scored 18 goals in 2009–10 Campionato Nazionale Primavera Group stage and played a few club friendlies for the first team.[13][14][15] Destro won 2009–10 UEFA Champions League as unused member,[16] which the team named him as one of the U21 youth product in the list B since 2008–09 edition.[17]
Genoa
In June 2010, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Internazionale agreed a deal with Genoa to sign the central back Andrea Ranocchia, and Destro was a piece-weight.[18] The transfer became official on 20 July 2010, which Genoa has a first option to sign Destro in co-ownership deal in June 2011.[19]
After the injury of Luca Toni, Destro started his first match in Serie A on 12 September 2010 as the only central forward in 3–4–3 formation, and he scored a goal in the sixth minute. However, the home match Genoa eventually lost 1–3 to Chievo.[20]
As Ranocchia joined Inter outright in January 2011, Destro joined Genoa outright in June. That month Genoa also signed his Inter team-mate Samuele Longo in co-ownership who already loaned to "the Griffin" in January 2011.
