Paloschi began his career with AC Milan, making his senior debut in February 2008 under then-manager Carlo Ancelotti.
He then moved to Parma, scoring 12 goals in his first season as they won promotion back to the top flight under Guidolin.
Paloschi switched to Genoa before returning to Milan in 2011 but they immediately sent him on loan to Chievo, who he later joined on a permanent deal, scoring 42 goals in 145 games.
He scored eight goals in 21 Serie A appearances this season with Chievo and won 29 caps for Italy under-21s.
