Impact Grassi entered Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Parma in the 16th minute after starter Michele Collocolo was forced off due to a thigh injury. His 74-minute shift marked a season-high for the offseason arrival from Empoli who managed three clearances and one interception throughout his unexpected time on the pitch. If Collocolo is unable to recover from his thigh injury, there would be an opportunity for Grassi to feature Saturday when Cremonese travel for a match at Como.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Lecce Grassi has moved from Empoli to Cremonese on a permanent transfer.

Impact Grassi will stay in Serie A following Empoli's relegation, switching sides after three years. He scored once and posted 10 crosses (zero accurate), 39 tackles, 40 clearances and 12 blocks in 28 appearances in the past campaign. He'll have a similar role at his new home.

APRIL 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in draw Grassi scored a goal off his lone shot during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Grassi is mostly used to contribute defensive but this time he had a major impact on the attacking end as he used a one-timed finish to open the scoring for Empoli after the opposition failed to clear a corner kick in the 36th minute. This was the first league goal for the midfielder since the 2019-20 season so he shouldn't be expected to add many more to his account.

MARCH 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs four clearances in loss Grassi had one off-target shot, made two tackles (both won), four clearances, two interceptions and two blocks and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Milan.

Impact Grassi was one of his team's few bright spots here as he filled the stat sheet with several defensive contributions.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Grassi participated to the defensive effort in the midfield but had to leave early after hurting his ankle. He'll have a couple of weeks to recover since he'll miss the next game versus Juventus due to yellow-card accumulation. Faustino Anjorin or Youssef Maleh will take his place.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances against Venezia Grassi had two crosses (zero accurate), two key passes, two tackles (one won) and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Venezia.

He has posted five tackles (one won), three crosses (zero accurate), three interceptions and four clearances in the last four tilts.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Grassi was deemed fit for this match, so it's not surprising to see him available on the bench. The midfielder returns to the squad after missing five games due to an ankle sprain.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Torino match Grassi (ankle) "will be available versus Torino, then we'll see about his minutes," coach Roberto D'Aversa stated.

Impact Grassi will be back after missing five games due to an ankle sprain and will probably be eased into action. Liam Henderson, Youssef Maleh and Liberato Cacace have enjoyed an uptick in minutes while he was on the mend. He was a staple before getting hurt, logging three chances created, 11 tackles (five won) and six interceptions in his last five showings.
