Career
Early career
Gonzalo Díaz was born in Mendoza, Argentina, where he began his professional career with local club Godoy Cruz in 2008 at the age of 18. Díaz took part in the team's youth system but did not break through until 2014 when he made 19 appearances for the team.[1] Before that he had unsuccessful loan spells with Defensa y Justicia, Atletico Racing Cordoba Instituto and Lanús.
América (loan)
On 17 June 2014, Díaz joined Mexican side Club América on a year-long loan, with the club having an option to purchase the player at the end of the loan.[2] He made his league debut on 3 August against Puebla, replacing Michael Arroyo in the 80th minute, with América winning the match 4–0. On 18 September, Díaz scored his first goal for América during the CONCACAF Champions League group-stage match against Puerto Rico Bayamón, scoring the fourth goal in a 10–1 win.
On 4 December, during the first-leg of the semifinal match against Monterrey, Díaz suffered an injury that would leave him out for the remainder of the Apertura tournament, as well as the 2015 Clausura.
