Gino Peruzzi Lucchetti (born 9 June 1992) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right back for Calcio Catania in the Serie A.

Club career

Vélez Sársfield

Peruzzi started his professional career playing for Vélez Sársfield, making his debut on 27 November 2011, starting in a 1–1 draw with Colón, in the 2011 Apertura.[1] Although he played his first game as a right winger, Peruzzi has since primarily been deployed as a right full back.

Peruzzi gained recognition after his performances against Santos in the home and away legs of the quarter-finals of the 2012 Copa Libertadores, in which Peruzzi marked and annulled Neymar, despite the fact that his team was eliminated in the penalty shootout.[2][3] He is the second cousin of the most famous goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi.

Calcio Catania

On 13 August 2013, Calcio Catania officially announced the signing of Peruzzi ahead of the 2013-14 Serie A season.[4] The transfer was reported to be worth 3.4 million euros, plus 700k euros in added taxes. Vélez will also reportedly receive 15% of any future resale of the player.[5]

Peruzzi made his debut for the club on 1 December 2013, in a home defeat against A.C. Milan.
