Agustín Federico Marchesín (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾtʃeˈsin]; born 16 March 1988) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Mexican club América and the Argentina national team.

Club career

Lanús

In 2007, Marchesín was signed by Club Atlético Lanús from regional club Huracán de Tres Arroyos. He was a non-playing member of the Lanús squad that won the 2007 Apertura tournament.

On 1 March 2009, Marchesín made his competitive debut in a 2–0 win against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy. On 29 April, he made his first appearance in the Copa Libertadores, a 1–1 draw against Caracas FC. That year, he relegated Mauricio Caranta to the bench and established himself as first-choice goalkeeper, playing in most of Lanús’ games of the Apertura tournament.

In 2013, Marchesín won the Copa Sudamericana with Lanús, starting in both matches of the finals against Ponte Preta of Brazil.[2]

In December 2014, Marchesín, along with Lanús teammate Diego González, was sold to Mexican side Santos Laguna as a replacement for retiring goalkeeper Oswaldo Sánchez.[3] In his first year at the club, he won the 2015 Clausura[4] and 2015 Campeón de Campeones cup.[5]

América

On 2 December 2016, it was announced that Santos Laguna had sold Marchesín to Club América.[6]

Marchesín made his 100th league appearance in Mexico in América's 2–1 win against Toluca on 30 September 2017.[7]

International career

Marchesín was the starting goalkeeper for the U21 Argentine national team that finished third at the 2009 Toulon Tournament.[8] On 20 August 2010, Marchesín received his first call for the senior national team for a friendly match against Spain.[9] Marchesín got his first cap for Argentina in a friendly match against Venezuela as a half-time substitute on 16 March 2011, with Argentina winning the match 4–1.[10]

In September 2014, Marchesín received his first call-up in more than four years when Gerardo Martino called him up to the Argentina squad for the friendly matches against Brazil and Hong Kong, playing against the latter and earning his second cap.[11] He was called up to the Argentina squad for the 2015 Copa América after Mariano Andújar suffered a hand injury midway through the tournament.[12]

On 15 September 2017, Marchesín received his first call up under Jorge Sampaoli for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification matches against Peru and Ecuador on 2 and 5 October.[13] On 14 November, Marchesín made his first start for the national team in a 4–2 friendly loss to Nigeria.[14]
