Born in Zürich, Switzerland, Desole moved to Italian club Inter Milan in 2008[2] playing two seasons for its U17 team. In 2010, he moved to cross-town rival A.C. Milan, for its U20 reserve. In 2012, the league committee changed the age limit of the reserve to U19, and Desole left Milan for nearby Lombard club A.C. Monza Brianza 1912 on loan.[3] During the January transfer window he joined Foligno on another loan spell.[4] The following season, he moved back to his native Switzerland, joining Chiasso on another loan.[5][6]
