Career
- Lanzini distinguished himself in indoor soccer football categories, showcasing his abilities in the Club Academia Kaly de Ituzaingó class of 1993, a neighborhood club. Ramón Maddon, who identified players like Juan Román Riquelme, Carlos Tevez, and Esteban Cambiasso, wanted to take Lanzini to Boca Juniors for a test match, but the young Lanzini rejected, explaining that he only wanted to play for the club he supported: River Plate Club
- In 2002, he was transferred to River Plate. He began training and working as a playmaker in minor levels until being hired by Pedro Vega, an ex-player and coach of lower club categories. Lanzini’s eighth division squad won the divisional title in 2008, and he finished with nine goals, just two fewer than teammate forward Leonardo Salguero, who had 11 goals. River Plate defeated Boca Juniors 3-0 in the Superclásico on November 2, 2008, with Lanzini scoring two goals and assisting on another.
- River Plate’s first team coach, ngel Cappa, selected Lanzini in the team for the winter preseason in 2010, contesting numerous matches in Salta Province. Lanzini made his unofficial debut in a 3-0 friendly win over Central Norte, coming on as a second-half substitute for Ariel Ortega. Lanzini then played another friendly match against Juventud Antoniana, and his performance was well received by both the press and the crowd.
- Lanzini’s performance in the 2010 winter preseason pleased his coach. Finally, he made his debut on August 8, 2010, against Tigre in the first match of the 2010 Torneo Apertura. River Plate won 1-0, and Lanzini was replaced at halftime by Facundo Affranchino.
- On July 19, 2011, River Plate agreed to loan Lanzini to Fluminense for a cost of $400,000, with a transfer option of $15,000,000.
- Lanzini made his debut in the Brasileirao 2011 in a 3-0 victory over Figueirense.
- He would later score his first official goal in the team’s 20th game of the competition, a 2-1 triumph against So Paulo. Because of his performances and demeanor, the club’s president dubbed him “the next Neymar.”
- Lanzini returns to the show on June 30, 2012. He started the team’s first game in the competition, scoring the sole goal in a 1-2 loss against Belgrano de Córdoba. For his comeback, he requested his coach, Matas Almeyda, if he might wear the club’s legendary number 10, which Almeyda agreed to. During Almeyda’s tenure, though, Lanzini was unable to secure a starting spot and was forced to watch games from the bench.
- Lanzini was nominated to Argentina’s tentative 35-man Olympic team in May 2016. He left the squad in July 2016 due to a knee injury acquired while practicing in Miami, Florida, and returned to London for treatment at West Ham United.
- Lanzini was named to new Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli’s first squad for upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Singapore in May 2017, with Lanzini making his full international debut on 9 June against Brazil at the MCG in Melbourne, Australia, replacing Ever Banega in the 81st minute of Argentina’s 1-0 win. On March 23, 2018, he scored his first international goal in Argentina’s 2-0 victory over Italy at the Ethiad Stadium in Manchester.
