In the calm of the transfer window, often synonymous with negotiations away from prying ears, a name is making waves at the Gym: Ignacio “Nacho” Martรญn Scocco.
The 28-year-old Argentine, top scorer in the Primera Divisiรณn with his club Newell’s Old Boys (24 goals), the native of Santa Fรฉ once again has his sights set on Europe.
A disappointing experience at AEK Athens in 2011 where he failed to establish himself, with just one appearance during the 2012 Superclรกsico de las Amรฉricas against Brazil in which he scored twice, the player is eager for a comeback.
Eager to seize his chance for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil, the forward has shared his future ambitions with the Argentine press. Now focusing on the Old Continent, he reportedly has his eyes on some “emerging” European clubs, including OGC Nice, influenced in his decision by the success of one of his compatriots who was previously underrated but ranked this season as the second-highest Argentine goal scorer in Europe behind… Lionel Messi: Dario Cvitanich (19 goals).
