Club career

Mustacchio and Morris Donati were signed by Sampdoria on 31 January 2008 in co-ownership deal, for €700,000 and €300,000 respectively, as part of the deal that 50% registration of Andrea Caracciolo moved to opposite direction for €3.55 million.[1][2][3] Mustacchio played his first Serie A match on 28 January 2009, a 3–1 victory against S.S.

In summer 2009 he left on loan to A.C. Ancona. Sampdoria bought Mustacchio outright on 26 June 2010 from Brescia. Both clubs failed to form an agreement before the deadline, however Brescia did not submit a bid to Lega Calcio, thus Sampdoria got Donati and Mustacchio for free.[4]

In June 2012, after Vicenza relegated, the club decided to give up most of the co-ownership deal, including Bastrini and Mustacchio;[9] however, Sampdoria also gave to its remain 50% registration rights of Bastrini and Mustacchio to Vicenza for free. Vicenza was re-admitted to Serie B on 23 August 2012.

In 2012–13 Serie B Mustacchio changed to wear no.8 which left by Alemão (also briefly owned by Marco Cellini and Rodrigo Possebon).[10] At the end of season Vicenza was relegated again.

Pro Vercelli

Mustacchio was sold to Pro Vercelli on 31 August 2015.[13]
