Club career

Sampdoria

In January 2007 Volta was signed by Sampdoria in co-ownership deal for €200,000 in 4+1⁄2-year contract.[1] Volta spent rest of 2006–07 Serie C2 season with Carpenedolo.

Volta also spent 2008 pre-season with the Genoese team, wearing no. 87,[4] but left on loan on the last day of transfer window. In summer 2009 Volta signed a new five-year deal with Sampdoria,[5] the co-ownership deal also renewed again in June 2009.[6] In August 2009 Volta left for Serie B newcomers Cesena,[7] where he was one of the main protagonists of the club's rise into the top flight.

Return to Sampdoria

In June 2010 Sampdoria and Parma agreed to renew the co-ownership agreement again, with Volta joining the Blucerchiati for the new season.[8] In summer 2010 he signed a new five-year contract again with Samp.[9] He made his debut with Sampdoria in the Third Qualifying Round of the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League against Werder Bremen. That season he rotated with Stefano Lucchini as the centre-back, which Volta played 6 out of 6 group stage matches of 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, and Lucchini mainly for domestic league. The other centre-back was Daniele Gastaldello.

After Sampdoria relegated, Sampdoria bought Volta outright from Parma for €900,000 in June 2011,[nb 1] and Lucchini was released.
