Valentino Simoni unveiled as new signing for Gimnasia de Mendoza | OneFootball

The forward Valentino Simoni was announced by El Pituco after arriving on loan, following a great season in the 2025 Proyección Tournament.

This Tuesday, the striker Valentino Simoni was introduced as the new player for Gimnasia de Mendoza. The 21-year-old attacker joins El Pituco on a one-year loan and will play his first season in the Professional League.

“Time to rack up minutes, experiences, and goals!”, expressed the Mendocino Wolf through its social media. The footballer will compete for the position with Santiago Rodríguez, who arrived on loan from Argentinos Juniors, Mario Galeano, and Brian Nicolás Ferreyra, the team’s top scorer in last season’s promotion campaign.

During the past campaign, Simoni gained continuity in the youth divisions and accumulated 36 appearances, in which he contributed 13 goals and one assist. He has yet to make his official debut in the First Division, although he was on the bench in the 2-0 victory over Tigre, in the last round of the Torneo Clausura. In addition, he was part of the squad led by Mariano Herrón that was crowned champion of the Clausura Proyección Cup.

The attacker also boasts a successful track record in the youth divisions. He was crowned champion of the 2023 Intercontinental Cup and played a key role in important finals: he scored one of the goals in the Clausura final against Gimnasia, which Boca won on penalties after a 2-2 draw, and shortly after, he celebrated the Champions Trophy after defeating Vélez 2-0.

Gimnasia not only went to Boca to finalize Simoni’s signing, but also brought in Julián Ceballos, a 21-year-old midfielder from the Reserves, and Norberto Briasco. In this way, they join the numerous additions to El Pituco in their return season to the Professional League, which are:
