After an outstanding season with the club’s Primavera in 2020/21, Mercati gained his first professional experience on loan at Montevarchi, making 37 appearances with one goal and six assists in Serie C at the age of 19.
Two more successful loan spells followed for Mercati in Serie C over the last two seasons, where he made 25 appearances with two assists at Carrerese in 2022/23 and 36 appearances with two goals and three assists at Gubbio in 2023/24, helping the teams to finish fourth and fifth, respectively, and qualify for the promotion playoffs.
You’re welcome, Alessandro.”
