Adrián Ricardo Centurión (born 19 January 1993) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a midfielder on loan for Serie A club Genoa.
Career
Racing Club
Centurión joined Racing's youth setup at the age of 15 and came through the ranks. He is described as a "whippy, quick, skilful support striker whose elusive dribbling made a big impact in the recent Argentine championship".[1] His style of play has drawn early comparisons to compatriot Ángel di María.[2]
On 19 August 2012, Centurión had a hand in both goals[3] as Racing defeated local rivals Independiente 2-0 in the Avellaneda derby at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón.[4] This performance was considered the youngster's breakthrough game for La Academia, and he went on to establish himself as the squad's first-choice left midfielder in a 4-4-2 formation.[5]
Anzhi Makhachkala
Racing president Gastón Cogorno confirmed on 24 January 2013 that Centurión was on the verge of agreeing a deal to join Russian Premier League outfit Anzhi Makhachkala in the summer of 2013.[6] During negotiations, the deal fell through after contract disagreements between the two clubs.[citation needed]
Genoa
On the 2nd of September 2013, the final day of the summer transfer window, Genoa CFC confirmed to loan signing of Centurión with an option to buy at the end of the season.[7]
