In July 2011, Rossi was loaned to Lumezzane, for one season, and he made his debut on 7 August, in a Coppa Italia match against Pro Patria. In the next phase, he stayed as a starter, and his team played against Torino, suffering a 1–0 away defeat and eventually knocked out of the Coppa Italia. However, in January 2012, his loan was terminated, and he joined Cuneo for the rest of the season. His loan was renewed for the 2012–13 season as well.
Rossi was signed by Pavia, Lupa Roma, Prato and Teramo in the 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons respectively, all in temporary deals.
In January 2017, he returned to Atalanta and was assigned to the first team. Rossi, who joined the club as a young child, made eight competitive appearances in total: six in Serie A, one in the Coppa Italia, and one in the UEFA Europa League.
