* Appearances (Goals)

Luciano Martín Galletti (born 9 April 1980 in La Plata) is an Argentine football right winger (sport). As of June 2005 he has played 13 matches and scored 3 goals for the Argentine national team.

His career began in Estudiantes de La Plata, where his father Rubén Horacio Galletti played as right wing during the 1970s. He was top goalscorer at the 1999 South American Youth Championship, ahead of players like Ronaldinho and Roque Santa Cruz. Galletti was bought by Italian Serie A club Parma A.C., but failed to break through in Italian football, so he returned to Argentina for a short time. He then played four seasons for Real Zaragoza, where he won the Copa del Rey before joining Atlético Madrid in 2005. Currently it seems that he is not in coach plans, but he wants to stay in the team and try, and that's why he rejected a proposal from greek club Panathinaikos.
