Club career

Nani had a youth spell in the systems of Argentinos Juniors and Lanús, featuring for the latter at the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores in Paraguay.[2][3] In 2017, Serie A side Roma completed the signing of Nani.[2] He made his unofficial debut for the club in a pre-season friendly win over Pinzolo Campiglio on 11 July 2017, prior to playing again days later versus 1. FC Slovácko.[2][4] In the following month, on 16 August, Nani was loaned to Temperley of the Argentine Primera División.[2][3] He made his professional debut over a week after during a home defeat to River Plate.[2] He featured a total of fifteen times for them in 2017–18.[2][5]

On 11 July 2018, Nani was signed on loan by Belgrano.[2] His first appearances came in the succeeding October against Banfield and Vélez Sarsfield, on the way to nine total matches for the Córdoba-based outfit as they suffered relegation to Primera B Nacional.[2] In July 2019, Nani returned to his homeland for a third loan away from Roma - as he agreed terms with newly-promoted Primera División team Central Córdoba.[2][6]

International career

Nani represented the Argentina U20s at the 2016 COTIF Tournament in Spain.[7] He won two caps, against Venezuela in the semi-finals and against Spain in the final; receiving a sending off in a 3–1 loss.[8][9]
