Giovanni Simeone
Giovanni Pablo Simeone Baldini (Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝoˈβani simeˈone]; born 5 July 1995), also known as Gio Simeone or "El Cholito", is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Torino, on loan from Napoli.
The son of former Argentine international footballer Diego Simeone and Carolina Baldini, Giovanni Simeone was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, while his father was playing for Atlético Madrid.
His family moved to Italy in 1997, but later returned to Spain in 2003 following Diego's career club changes. Two years later he moved to Argentina, and joined River Plate's youth setup in 2008 when his father was appointed coach of the first team. He has two younger brothers, Gianluca and Giuliano, both footballers.
After progressing through the youth ranks, Simeone signed a three-year professional deal with the club in November 2011. In July 2013, he was called up by the main squad for the pre-season; Simeone made his league debut on 4 August 2013, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away defeat against Gimnasia La Plata. Later that month, he renewed his contract, signing until 2016. Simeone scored his first professional goal on 8 September, netting the second of a 3–0 home victory against Tigre.
On 6 July 2015, Simeone joined fellow Argentine Primera División side Banfield on a season-long loan. On 12 July 2015, he scored the match-winning goal on his debut in a 1–0 victory against Quilmes.
On 18 August 2016, Simeone signed for Italian club Genoa for €3 million. He scored his first goal as a starter in a 1–1 draw against Pescara on 25 September 2016. On 27 November, Simeone netted a brace in a 3–1 victory against Juventus.
Amid speculation of Atlético Madrid's interest in the then-youngster to be coached by his father Diego Simeone, Giovanni signed with Serie A club Fiorentina on 16 August 2017 for an undisclosed fee. On 29 April 2018, Simeone scored his first hat-trick in Fiorentina's 3–0 league victory against Napoli, effectively ending his future club's title hopes.
On 30 August 2019, Simeone joined Cagliari on a year-long loan from Fiorentina, including an obligatory purchase clause at the end of the period. On 1 September, he made his debut in a 2–1 defeat against Inter Milan. Simeone scored his first goal on 15 September in a 3–1 victory against Parma. After an inconsistent first part of the season, he scored in four consecutive games upon returning from the COVID-19 lockdown and finished the seasons with 12 goals overall.
