Club career

Roskopf started out in the youth ranks of Colón in 2007, prior to joining Boca Juniors five years later.[3] In 2018, Roskopf joined Uruguayan Primera División side Torque on loan.[1][4] He made his professional debut on 3 February, coming on as a second half substitute against Nacional as Torque lost 2–4.[1] He made his first start on 28 March against Boston River, which was followed by Roskopf scoring the first goals of his senior career in his next start during a 2–0 win over Peñarol on 31 March.[1][5][6] He returned to Boca in December after twenty-five games and three goals as Torque were relegated.[1] Roskopf joined Romania's Hermannstadt in early 2019.[7]

Roskopf was unable to appear for Hermannstadt in 2018–19 due to registration issues, after the club discovered he didn't have the required paperwork; with the forward subsequently applying for Italian citizenship whilst under contract.[8] However, in May 2019, Roskopf signed an agreement to join newly-promoted Liga II side Rapid București for 2019–20.[9][10][11] His bow arrived on 20 August in a 3–1 loss to Turris Turnu Măgurele, while his first goal came on 1 September versus CSM Reșița.[1]

International career

In 2015, Roskopf represented Argentina at the 2015 South American U-17 Championship and 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[1] He scored once in seven matches at the U17 Championship in Paraguay, which preceded three appearances at the subsequent U17 World Cup in Chile.[1] He had previously featured for the U15s, notably at the 2013 South American U-15 Championship, whilst also training against the senior squad before the 2015 Copa América.[3][12][13]
