César Gabriel Florentín (born 13 March 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Argentinos Juniors.[1]

Career

Florentín came through the youth system of River Plate, prior to signing for Argentinos Juniors' ranks in 2016; making the breakthrough into the latter's first-team fold in 2019.[2][3][4] He was initially an unused substitute four times in the Copa Sudamericana, across ties with Deportes Tolima and Colón.[1][5][6] Florentín's professional debut arrived on 3 August 2019 versus Aldosivi, as he came off the bench to replace Nicolás Silva after seventy-three minutes of a goalless away draw.[1][7] Eight more appearances came in 2019–20, which included his first start arriving in a Copa Sudamericana first stage tie with Sport Huancayo on 11 February 2020.[1]

On 8 March 2021, Florentín scored for the first time as he netted a stoppage time winner away to ex-club River Plate in the Copa de la Liga Profesional.[8]

On 2 August 2022, Florentín signed with Russian Premier League club FC Orenburg, where he joined his compatriots Braian Mansilla and Lucas Vera.[9] In August 2024, he suffered an ACL tear and missed the remainder of the 2024–25 season.[10] Florentín left Orenburg on 7 June 2025 as his contract expired.[11]

In June 2025, Florentín returned to Argentinos Juniors, signing a contract until the end of 2029.[12]

Personal life

On 25 July 2020, Florentín tested positive for COVID-19 amid the pandemic; becoming the first Primera División player to do so.[13][14]
