Giovanni Pablo Simeone Baldini (Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝoˈβani simeˈone]; born 5 July 1995), also known as Gio Simeone or "El Cholito", is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Torino, on loan from Napoli.
Early life
The son of former Argentine international footballer Diego Simeone and Carolina Baldini, Giovanni Simeone was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina,[4][1][5] while his father was playing for Atlético Madrid.[6]
His family moved to Italy in 1997, but later returned to Spain in 2003 following Diego's career club changes.[7] Two years later he moved to Argentina, and joined River Plate's youth setup in 2008 when his father was appointed coach of the first team.[8] He has two younger brothers, Gianluca and Giuliano, both footballers.[9]
Club career
Early career in Argentina
After progressing through the youth ranks, Simeone signed a three-year professional deal with the club in November 2011.[10] In July 2013, he was called up by the main squad for the pre-season;[11] Simeone made his league debut on 4 August 2013, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away defeat against Gimnasia La Plata.[12] Later that month, he renewed his contract, signing until 2016.[13] Simeone scored his first professional goal on 8 September, netting the second of a 3–0 home victory against Tigre.[14]
On 6 July 2015, Simeone joined fellow Argentine Primera División side Banfield on a season-long loan.[15] On 12 July 2015, he scored the match-winning goal on his debut in a 1–0 victory against Quilmes.[16]
Genoa
On 18 August 2016, Simeone signed for Italian club Genoa for €3 million.[17][18] He scored his first goal as a starter in a 1–1 draw against Pescara on 25 September 2016.[19] On 27 November, Simeone netted a brace in a 3–1 victory against Juventus.[20]
Fiorentina
Amid speculation of Atlético Madrid's interest in the then-youngster to be coached by his father Diego Simeone, Giovanni signed with Serie A club Fiorentina on 16 August 2017 for an undisclosed fee.[21] On 29 April 2018, Simeone scored his first hat-trick in Fiorentina's 3–0 league victory against Napoli, effectively ending his future club's title hopes.[22]
Cagliari
On 30 August 2019, Simeone joined Cagliari on a year-long loan from Fiorentina, including an obligatory purchase clause at the end of the period.[23] On 1 September, he made his debut in a 2–1 defeat against Inter Milan.[24] Simeone scored his first goal on 15 September in a 3–1 victory against Parma.[25] After an inconsistent first part of the season,[26][27] he scored in four consecutive games upon returning from the COVID-19 lockdown and finished the seasons with 12 goals overall.[28]
The following season, Simeone scored a brace in a 3–2 victory against Torino.[29] He ended the 2020–21 season with six goals scored.[30]
Hellas Verona
On 26 August 2021, Simeone joined Serie A club Hellas Verona on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[31] On 24 October, he scored all four goals in a 4–1 victory against Lazio.[32] It was his second hat-trick in Serie A, and both came against clubs managed by Maurizio Sarri.[32] On 30 October, Simeone netted two goals against Juventus for the second time in his career, as Verona won 2–1.[33]
On 17 June 2022, he joined Hellas Verona on a permanent deal with a contract lasting until 2026.[34]
Napoli
On 18 August 2022, Simeone signed for Napoli on loan with an option to buy, which became obligatory upon meeting certain sporting conditions.[35] He made his debut for the club on 28 August against Fiorentina, his former team, replacing Victor Osimhen in the final 15 minutes of the match, which ended in a goalless draw.[36]
On 7 September, Simeone made his UEFA Champions League debut, once again replacing Osimhen, and scored his first goal both in the competition and for his new club, contributing to Napoli's 4–1 victory against Liverpool.[37] On 18 September, he scored his first league goal for Napoli in a 2–1 victory against AC Milan at the San Siro.[38] Simeone then recorded his first brace for the club on 26 October, in a 3–0 Champions League home win against Rangers,[39] thereby becoming the second Argentine player after his father to score four goals in his first four matches in Europe's top competition.[40]
On 17 January 2023, in his Coppa Italia debut with the club, Simeone scored Napoli's second goal in their home match against Cremonese. However, his club was eliminated following a defeat on penalties, with the match having ended 2–2 after extra time.[41] He went on to score the decisive goal in Napoli's 2–1 home victory against Roma on 29 January.[42] On 4 May, Napoli secured their first league title in 34 years following a 1–1 draw against Udinese, which was also the first league title Simeone won in his professional career.[43]
On 15 June 2023, Simeone signed a permanent contract with Napoli, valid until 2026, with an option to extend until 2027.[44][45][46][47]
Loan to Torino
On 7 August 2025, Simeone joined fellow Serie A club Torino on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy. He signed a contract with Torino until 2028 that would be in effect if the conditions in the loan agreement are fulfilled.[48]
International career
Under-20 team
U-20 South American Championship
Giovanni Simeone was initially a part of the Argentine Under-18 team. His outstanding performances earned him a call-up in the U-20 team when he was just 17 years old. In March 2014, Simeone was called up by manager Alejandro Sabella to train with the senior Argentina national football team as a 'sparring' partner.[49]
On 6 January 2015, the technical director of the Argentine U-20 football team, Humberto Grondona, released a list of 32 players for pre-tournament training. Giovanni Simeone was among those called up for the upcoming U-20 South American Championship, which was scheduled to be held in Uruguay.[50] On 10 January, just days before the championship was set to begin, Grondona finalized the list of 23 players, which included Simeone. Out of the seven River Plate players initially listed, six made it to the final squad traveling to Uruguay.[51]
On 14 January, the Argentine U-20 national team made their debut in the U-20 South American Championship against Ecuador. It was a resounding 5–2 victory, with Simeone emerging as the top scorer of the match. He scored his first goal early in the game following a play by Ángel Correa. His second goal came after another assist from Correa, and Simeone simply had to tap it in.[52][53]
On 16 January, in the second match of the tournament, the Argentine U-20 team suffered a setback with a 0–1 against Paraguay U-20, who temporarily took the lead in the group.[54] Two days later, on 18 January, following the previous defeat, the Argentine U-20 team bounced back with a convincing 6–2 victory against the Peru U-20 team. Simeone was again the standout player, scoring twice. His first goal came from an assist by Sebastián Driussi, whilst his second came from a header after a cross by Leonardo Suárez.[55]
On 22 January, in the last match of the Group A stage of the U-20 South American Championship, the Argentine U-20 team won 3–0 against Bolivia U-20. Simeone was the top scorer again, netting two goals, both of which came from assists by Leonardo Suárez.[56][57]
On 7 February 2015, the Argentine U-20 team won the U-20 South American Championship. Simeone played a pivotal role in the team's success and finished as the tournament's top scorer with 9 goals.
U-20 World Cup
On 6 March 2015, the coach of the U-20 national team, Humberto Grondona, included him in the preliminary squad for the U-20 World Cup to be held in New Zealand. Training and friendly matches would start at the end of March and continue throughout April until the final list of players travelling to the World Cup was announced in early May.[58] On 13 May, Humberto Grondona confirmed the list of 21 players who represented the Argentine U-20 team at the World Cup in New Zealand, among them including Giovanni Simeone. The team travelled on Monday, 18 May, to Tahiti, where they played two friendly matches against the local team. The Argentine team also arrived in Wellington on 25 May to make their debut on 30 May against Panama.[59] On 21 May, in the first friendly match played before the New Zealand World Cup, the Argentine U-20 team lost in Tahiti 3–1 to the country's senior team in a match played at the Pater Te Hono Nui Stadium.[60] On 24 May the team played their second friendly, and final one before traveling to New Zealand for the World Cup, against Tahiti. This time, the Albiceleste won 4–1, with goals from Ángel Correa, Monteseirín, Simeone, and Emiliano Buendía, showing good ball control and attacking potency.[61][62]
Senior team
Simeone was called up to the senior national team for the first time for the FIFA double date in September 2018.[63] On 8 September 2018, he made his debut as a starter against Guatemala whilst scoring his first goal, leading to a 3–0 victory for Argentina against the Central Americans.[64][65] Against the second opponent, Colombia, Simeone was a substitute but came on in the 88th minute to replace Nicolás Tagliafico, where he had a tough clash with Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina. As part of a generational change, Simeone continued to be called up by interim coach Lionel Scaloni, becoming a regular player in the Albiceleste's subsequent matches. The following month, Simeone was again included in the squad to play the October friendly matches against Iraq and Brazil, coming on as a substitute in both matches, replacing Lautaro Martínez against Iraq and Mauro Icardi against Brazil. In November, Simeone was called up to play in the Argentina's final match of the year, facing Mexico in a home friendly match. He provided an assist to Paulo Dybala, which ended in a 2–0 victory for the Argentines.[66]
In September 2020, Simeone was once again called up by Lionel Scaloni for the World Cup qualifying double date against Ecuador and Bolivia.[67][68]
Style of play
Simeone is an elegant yet powerful and opportunistic forward with an eye for goal,[69][70][71][72] who is capable of playing anywhere along the front line; although he has been deployed as a second striker, he has also been used in a central role as a main striker,[8] and is a competent and efficient finisher with both feet,[73] despite being naturally right footed.
A tenacious and energetic player,[74] he is known for his work-rate and defensive contribution off the ball,[8] and often drops into midfield in order to help his team win back possession. He is also known for his speed and intelligent attacking movement, which enables him to create space and provide depth for his team.
Regarded as a promising young player,[8] he also possesses solid technical ability,[74] as well as flair on the ball, and is capable of linking-up with teammates and bringing other forwards into play.
Personal life
On 1 January 2014, at the age of 18, Simeone obtained Spanish citizenship.[67] On 25 May 2022 he married the Italian model Giulia Coppini in the church of San Salvatore al Monte (Florence).[75]
