The player: Marco Donadel

Marco Donadel (Verona, April 21, 1983) is an Italian midfielder who built his career among the protagonists of Italian football in the 2000s. He grew up playing football between Naples and the Italian youth teams, and played in Serie A with Fiorentina, Napoli, and Parma, distinguishing himself for dynamism and intensity in midfield. With Fiorentina in the 2008/2009 season, he experienced one of the most exciting years for the Viola club, finishing fourth in the league with the consequent qualification for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in eight years — a historic achievement that marked the sporting rebirth of the lily-bearing club. Donadel wore the number 4, contributing to the solid interception phase that characterized that memorable season. His Player Issued jersey is an authentic document of one of the highest moments in contemporary Viola football.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. More than fifteen years after its production, this jersey has also acquired the charm and added value of an authentic vintage relic of Italian football, impossible to find through ordinary commercial channels.
