Mini bio
From Rosario to Europe.
Born in Rosario, Gio began his professional career with Rosario Central. His performances in Argentina and the Copa Libertadores earned him a move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2016. After a loan back to Rosario, he joined PSG in early 2017 and became part of their trophy-winning squads.
Finding his place in midfield.
His first Betis season brought 16 goals in 45 appearances in 2018/19. Tottenham signed him initially on loan in August 2019 and permanently in January 2020. He also spent time on loan at Villarreal, starting in the side that knocked Bayern Munich out of the 2022 Champions League quarter-finals.
Argentina and a return to Seville.
Gio won the Copa América with Argentina in 2021 and 2024, supplying Lautaro Martínez’s winning assist in the latter final. Injury kept him out of the 2022 World Cup. He returned to Betis in August 2024, then made his World Cup playing debut with a goal against Jordan in June 2026.
