Early career
Çani was born in Tirana, Albania but grew up in Città della Pieve in the Perugia central Italy, after his family emigrated to Italy in the famous exodus of the Vlora ship on 8 August 1991.[3] He was first spotted by a Pescara scout in 2004 and started his youth career at the time. He signed his first professional contract with the biancazzurri in 2007.[4] He played for Pescara in Serie C1 in the first half of the 2007–08 season overall 11 matches, 7 as a starter and 4 as a substitute, scoring 3 goals.[5]
Palermo
On 31 January 2008 Serie A side Palermo confirmed to have signed Cani,[6] along with Luca Di Matteo, for a reported €600,000 and €500,000 fee respectively. In their June 2008 accounts Palermo showed the signings as being for €450,000 each.[7]
Çani made his Serie A debut on 27 April 2008 in a 0–0 home tie against Atalanta coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute in place of Edinson Cavani.[8][9]
Loan at Ascoli
In July 2008, Ascoli confirmed they had signed Çani on loan for the 2008–09 Serie B season.[10] He scored 4 goals in 24 appearances, most of them as a starter. Ascoli finished the season in 16th.
Loan at Padova
On 20 August 2009 Çani was signed with fellow Serie B team Padova on loan.[11] He made his competitive debut one day later in the opening league matchday against Modena by playing the last 17 minutes of a 1–0 home win.[12] His first score-sheet contributions came in his second ever appearance for the club one week later, scoring the equaliser in an eventual 1–1 draw at Reggina.[13] During the first half of the 2009–10 season, Çani was below expectations, netting only twice in 19 appearances.
Loan at Piacenza
He left Padova in January 2010 to be loaned out to another Serie B team, Piacenza, for the rest of the season.[14] He made his debut for Piacenza by scoring two goals in a 3–1 win over Triestina.[15] He finished his loan spell with a respectable amount of 6 goals in 14 appearances.
