Giay gets first call-up to the Argentina squad | OneFootball

On Tuesday, Palmeiras right-back Agustín Giay was called up to join the Argentina national team. The player will take the place of Gonzalo Montiel, who was injured during a match for River Plate.

Despite having a solid spell with the youth teams of the three-time world champion, this was the first time Giay was called up to the senior national team. Lionel Scaloni also called up forward Flaco López. With Giay’s call-up, Palmeiras now has eight players called up during this FIFA international window.

Giay was signed by Palmeiras in mid-2024. At the time, the full-back was playing for Argentina’s San Lorenzo for 7.5 million dollars (around R$41 million at the exchange rate at the time). For Verdão, he has made 73 appearances and won one title: the 2026 Campeonato Paulista.

This season, he has played 12 matches, seven as a starter, and is coming off a run of three straight games in the starting lineup.
