Football career

Guberti started his career at Sardinian club Alghero of Serie D. He then played for Sassari Torres in Serie C1. On 30 June 2006, he signed for Ascoli who were then in Serie A. He made his Serie A debut against Atalanta on 10 September 2006.

On 2 February 2009, he joined Bari on a short six-month contract. On selecting the number 17 shirt at Bari, Guberti declared that "it was the number I had in Serie A with which I scored my first goal against Milan, so I hope it brings good luck."

On 22 June 2009, he joined Roma for free (as his contract with Bari was expired), signing a four-year contract for roughly €800,000 per season, as confirmed by his new club.

He made his official Roma debut on 30 July 2009, against K.A.A. Gent at UEFA Europa League 3rd qualifying round. On 11 January 2010, U.C. Sampdoria loaned the winger from AS Roma until June 2010. Guberti played for Roma in pre-season, but on 6 August 2010, Sampdoria bought him for €1.5 million, in a co-ownership deal. However, after the club relegated, Sampdoria gave up the registration rights of Guberti and Daniele Mannini for a peppercorn fee of €500 each.

On 15 July 2011, Guberti was loaned to Serie B club Torino with option to co-own the player. Guberti also extended the contract with Roma on the same day, to 2014, and increase the gross basic salary to €1.128 million. To form a co-ownership, the player must had a minimum 2-year left in his former contract with the "mother" club.

In summer 2012 he was suspended for three years due to 2011–12 Italian football scandal.
