Club career edit
Legati was signed by Milan from Fiorenzuola in 2001.[1] He played in their youth teams for six years, before joining Legnano on a two-season loan in August 2006.[2]
For the 2008–09 season he moved to French side Monaco on another loan spell; however, he was called back in January, due to lack of playing time, and subsequently loaned to Novara for the remainder of the season.[3]
In July 2009, he was transferred to Crotone in a co-ownership deal, for €10,000.[4][5] He made 40 appearances and scored one goal in his first Serie B season; his good performances prompted Milan to re-acquire him fully, for €350,000.[6][7][8] However, for the 2010–11 season, he was signed by Padova in a new co-ownership deal, for €660,000.[6][9] In June 2011 Padova bought him outright for another €660,000.
On 16 January 2018, he signed a contract with FeralpiSalò until 30 June 2020.[10] Legati announced his retirement from playing on 13 May 2023, with his shirt number 13 retired by the club.[11]
