In July 2016, Spissu was sent on loan to Virtus Bologna of the Serie A2 Basket.[1] With Bologna, he won the Italian LNP Cup and he was named the LNP Cup Finals MVP.[2]

After 11 years with Dinamo Sassari, from 2011, Spissu moved in Spain to Unicaja Málaga, signing a two years contract.[3][4] On August 12, 2021, Unicaja Malaga voids Marco Spissu’s contract after Italian player fails physicals.[5] The Italian Basketball Federation intervened in his favour by stating that his physical conditions were adequate and no injuries has compromised his condition, such that he was called for the Tokyo Olympics.[6] Standing to Gazzetta dello sport, the Italian sport newspaper, the Malaga management team had second thoughts about the deal and used his physical condition as a justification for voiding the contract.[7]

In the end, on August 19, 2021, Spissu signed with the Russian team UNICS Kazan of the VTB United League and newly promoted to the EuroLeague.[8]

He left the team in early 2022 due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9][10]
