From Córdoba to Liniers, two Argentine academy players born in 2009 have been included in an English projection of young talents to follow.
Quick facts
- Simón Escobar represents Vélez Sarsfield.
- Giovanni Baroni is part of Talleres de Córdoba.
- Both players belong to the 2009 age group.
- An English publication highlighted them among prospects worth monitoring.
Escobar’s presence puts Vélez’s youth system back in the continental spotlight, with the Buenos Aires club continuing to produce players attracting attention beyond Argentina.
Baroni, meanwhile, carries the colours of Talleres, one of the leading development hubs outside the capital. His inclusion gives Córdoba a place in the international watchlist alongside Escobar.
The projection does not alter their immediate path: both remain youth-category players. But it identifies two names from Argentina’s next generation already being observed abroad.
