Football career

Juventus

A graduate of Juventus youth system, he made his Serie A debut at Juventus F.C., losing to Inter, 0-1 in home legs, 20 April 2005.

Masiello was on loan to Avellino of Serie B in 2005, along with Boudianski, where he played 41 times but did not avoid the relegation.

Geona

Juventus faced 2006 Italian football scandal and forced to play in Serie B. Thus, the squad faced clearance in order to improve the financial condition. Masiello, along with Gastaldello, Konko, Bartolucci and Packer were now joint-owned by Siena of Serie A and Juventus.

After scoring no presence in the first half of the 2006 season, Juventus sold its 50% rights of Masiello and Konko to Genoa on 25 January, 2007, (which previously owned by Siena and Juventus, after became Genoa and Siena) worth for €1.25million and €1million, for part of the deal of Domenico Criscito permanent transfer. He played 15 times and won promotion along with team-mate.

Genoa decided to sign Masiello and Konko permanently at the end of season, but after played 4 times, he was loan back to Serie B for A.S. Bari.
