Matías Pellegrini (born 11 March 2000) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Estudiantes on loan from Inter Miami.[3]

Club career

Estudiantes

Pellegrini began with Estudiantes, who signed him from CRIM de Magdalena.[4][5][6] He was moved into the senior squad under manager Leandro Benítez during 2018–19, who selected him for his professional debut in a Copa Argentina tie with Central Córdoba on 24 July 2018.[1][7] After featuring in the 2018 Copa Libertadores versus Grêmio, Pellegrini made his first appearance in the Primera División on 12 August during a defeat to Godoy Cruz.[1][8] In his next match a week later, also in the league, he scored the first senior goal in a 2–0 victory over Boca Juniors.[1] Overall, Pellegrini ended his first campaign with four goals in twenty-three fixtures.[1]

Inter Miami

On 23 July 2019, Pellegrini agreed a transfer to Major League Soccer's Inter Miami.[9] However, the left midfielder was loaned back to Estudiantes until January 2020; when his new club officially enters MLS.[10] The fee was quoted as being "between $6 million and $9 million".[11] On 16 April 2021, Inter Miami bought out his contract to meet MLS roster requirements. He was loaned to Fort Lauderdale CF, the club's USL League One affiliate.[3]

On 2 August 2021, Pellegrini joined Estudiantes on loan through until June 2022.[12]

International career

Pellegrini was called up to train with the Argentina U17s in November 2016.[13] Two years later, in 2018, he was selected by the U20s.[14]
