Amedeo Benedetti (born 25 October 1991) is an Italian footballer who plays for club Trapani.
Benedetti started his career at Serie A club Chievo.
On 24 June 2010, 5 days before the closure of 2009âÂÂ10 financial year of Chievo and Vicenza Calcio, Benedetti was swapped with Mattia Minesso. Both players were valued â¬2 million, thus no cash involved. Both club also retained 50% registration rights for â¬1M as part of co-ownership deal. Benedetti signed a 4-year contract. The deal made both club had an immediately selling profit on both players, a speculative future re-sell revenue and/or speculative players performance and a heavy cost in the future as amortization.

In June 2011, both players returned to their mother clubs with the same price (â¬1M for 50% rights), made that financial year in fact no amortization expense of â¬500,000 to deteriorate the situation but in the future did. That month, Chievo also swapped with other clubs as a trick to "fix" the financial situation.
Chievo failed to find a new buyer for Benedetti or may led to immediate negative financial impact. and Chievo chose to amortize the â¬2M in installments in the lifespan of his contract, despite it was impaired with the benefit (income or performance) generated by the player.
