Gino Peruzzi Lucchetti (Spanish pronunciation: [peˈruθi], locally: [peˈrusi]; born 9 June 1992) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right back for Boca Juniors in the Argentine First Division.
Club career
Vélez Sársfield
Peruzzi started his professional career playing for Vélez Sársfield, making his debut on 27 November 2011, starting in a 1–1 draw with Colón, in the 2011 Apertura.[1] Although he played his first game as a right winger, Peruzzi has since primarily been deployed as a right full back.
Peruzzi gained recognition after his performances against Santos in the home and away legs of the quarter-finals of the 2012 Copa Libertadores, in which Peruzzi marked and annulled Neymar, despite the fact that his team was eliminated in the penalty shootout.[2][3]
Although he was mainly a substitute for club captain Fabián Cubero, Peruzzi played 13 games (scoring once) in Vélez' 2012 Inicial winning championship, playing either as right back or right winger.[4] He also helped Vélez win the 2012–13 Superfinal, entering the field during the first half after Cubero was sent off.
Calcio Catania
On 13 August 2013, Calcio Catania officially announced the signing of Peruzzi ahead of the 2013-14 Serie A season.[5] The transfer was reported to be worth 3.4 million euros, plus 700k euros in added taxes. Vélez will also reportedly receive 15% of any future resale of the player.[6]
Peruzzi made his debut for the club on 1 December 2013, in a home defeat against A.C. Milan. In his first season with Catania, the club was relegated to Serie B.
Boca Juniors
In 2015, Peruzzi signed with Argentinian club Boca Juniors.
