Valentín Carboni

Valentín Carboni (born 5 March 2005) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Serie A club Inter Milan and the Argentina national team.

[26][27] In March 2022, he switched allegiance to Argentina and received his first official call-up to the Argentine senior national team, having been included in the preliminary list for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Venezuela and Ecuador.

[6][28][29] In May 2022, he was included by head coach Javier Mascherano in the Argentine under-20 squad that took part in the Maurice Revello Tournament in France,[30] as the Albiceleste eventually finished in fifth place, after winning the play-off match against Japan.

[31] In October 2022, he was included by head coach Lionel Scaloni in Argentina's preliminary squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, although he did not make the cut to the final 26-men list.

[36] Carboni made his debut for the senior Argentina national team on 26 March 2024 in a friendly against Costa Rica, substituting Ángel Di María in the 82nd minute.

[4] An elegant, composed, and creative player,[2][39] he frequently moves between his team's attacking lines,[4] whether he keeps possession with his ball control,[2][39] finds team-mates via through passes or first-touch combinations,[2][4] or directly goes for the shot from short or long range.
