Nicolás Jorge Morgantini (born 11 September 1994) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Lanús.[1]

Club career

Morgantini got his senior career underway in 2013 with Platense.[1][3] After being an unused substitute for the club's 6–1 defeat in the Copa Argentina to Estudiantes on 4 December, he made his professional bow in Primera B Metropolitana days later versus Deportivo Armenio.[1][4] Morgantini scored his first senior goal against the same opponents in November 2014, netting the sole strike in the thirty-sixth minute away from home.[1][5] He made seventy-one appearances across his first six seasons with Platense, the last concluded with promotion as champions to Primera B Nacional in 2017–18.[1]

On 16 January 2020, Morgantini joined Lanús on a deal until the end of 2022.[6] Due to lack of playing time, Morgantini returned to Platense in January 2022, on a loan deal for the rest of 2022.[7]

International career

In 2015, Morgantini was selected to train with the Argentina U23s.[8][9]
