Agustín Giay (born 16 January 2004) is an Argentine professional footballer currently playing as a right back for Série A side SE Palmeiras.[2]

Early life

[edit]

Born in San Carlos Centro, Giay joined San Lorenzo's youth wing at 13.[3][4]

Club career

[edit]

San Lorenzo

[edit]

Giay made his professional debut for San Lorenzo on 19 April 2022, starting in the 1–2 away Copa de la Liga win to CA Unión.[4][5][6]

He scored his first goal for the club on 9 July 2022 during a Primera División home game against the Boca Juniors, helping his team to a 2–1 surprise win.[4][7][8] Along with the likes of Agustín Martegani, Giay was part of a youthful but promising San Lorenzo squad.[9]

Disappearance of 10% of the pass

[edit]

In the 2021/22 Balance sheet officially presented by San Lorenzo on June 13, 2023, it appeared that the Argentine institution owned 90% of Agustín Giay's pass, leaving the remaining 10% lost to complete the 100. This data caught attention to the Ciclón fans, because Agustín (being a youth member of the club) had not previously been part of another professional entity which could be the owner of the mysteriously missing percentage. This event was then sued by Movete Boedo Movete (the club's fan movement) to the General Inspection of Justice, who said that serious property damage was caused to the Club. It is worth mentioning that the 2020/21 Balance Sheet (the previous one) included absolute possession of the entire player's record, which was lost over the course of those two years. This had already happened to the Cuervo directors, at the time with Bautista Merlini and they themselves argued that it was a "typing error."

Palmeiras

[edit]

On 28 June 2024, Giay signed for SE Palmeiras in the Brasileirão on a deal until June 2029[10]
