His transfer was later fully acquired by Roma during the 2008 summer transfer window, for free,[4][5] and Andreolli was subsequently loaned out to newly promoted Serie B side Sassuolo for the entire 2008–09 season in order to gain first team experience.

On 22 October 2009, he scored a 93rd-minute equaliser for Roma against Fulham in a UEFA Europa League group stage fixture.[6]

Chievo

On 24 August 2010, Andreolli completed a transfer to fellow Serie A side Chievo to gain more playing time.[7] As he only had one-year left in his contract, he was sold for €800,000.[8]

With the number 3, Andreolli made his competitive debut five days after the transfer in the opening matchday by starting in a 2–1 win against Catania.[9] On 24 January 2011, Inter bought back half of Andreolli's registration rights from Chievo,[10][11] for €885,000.[12] He also returned to Chievo on loan. However, on 22 June he was sold back to Chievo for €500,000.[12][13] In the same window, Michele Rigione joined Inter for €500,000 outright.[12][13]

On 31 August 2015, after totalling just 10 league appearances in two years at Inter, Andreolli moved abroad for the first time, being loaned to Spain's Sevilla for the upcoming campaign.[22] Inter also failed to qualify to the European stage that season, thus Andreolli was not require to fill UEFA quota.
