## Ineligibles

Of course, per the rules, anyone who fails the eligibility requirements is not to be created. However, there is confusion around a select few. Here are some to note.

### Players

#### Nationality possibly Argentine

**Julián Pendín** (born 12 May 2000) - He is the son of Daniel Pendín, though was born in Spain in 2000. I could find no indication that he has Argentine nationality. A clear source is needed before an article can be created. RPSfd (talk) 12:03, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

**Franco Sala** (born 21 February 1998) - Ciudad de Murcia, his new club as of August 2021, states he is Spanish/Argentine but doesn't make clear if that's due to simply heritage or whatever. Stat sites like Soccerway say he is simply Spanish, while any other sites I could find don't state his nationality. Clear source needed before an article would be created. RPSfd (talk) 15:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

**Matías Maroni** (born ?) - It is possible that Matías Maroni does have Argentine nationality/Argentine/born parent, but I could find no conclusive proof. A few stat sites mention possible Argentine nationality, though it appears he was born in the United States and this good source references him as a "US citizen". His Facebook (which doesn't note San Diego, possibly oddly) states he is from Berabevú, Santa Fe, Argentina but it isn't clear if he was born there. Either way, stronger source needed. RPSfd (talk) 12:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

**Mateo Enríquez** (born 13 August 2001) - Some sources give his birthplace as San Miguel, Argentina but the vast majority note La Jonquera, Spain as his birthplace - and I couldn't find any proof of Argentine-born parents and nationality. RPSfd (talk) 20:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

#### Nationality known but not Argentine

**José Andrés Borges Prusinowski** (born 3 March 1987) - Soccerway and LaPreferente say he is Argentine, but a quick Google search shows that he is actually Uruguayan - per this, this and this. It is possible he was born in Uruguay but is Argentine, or even if there is a (very unlikely) namesake who is Argentine, but further sourcing will be needed if an article is ever to be created. RPSfd (talk) 01:20, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

**Vianney Nieto Mendoza** (born 4 September 1987) - Soccerway, World Football and LaPreferente all say he is Argentine, though only WF give a birthplace of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria - which is in Spain, as corroborated by BDFutbol. It's possible he is a Spanish-born Argentine, though I couldn't find anything to confirm that - and he has, seemingly, played his whole career in Spain so difficult to say for sure. Source needed. RPSfd (talk) 02:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

**Diego Peralta** (born 27 December 1996) - Many sites state he was born in Posadas, Argentina. This is incorrect, per Peralta himself here. He was born in Livorno, Italy and confirms he is Italian in "all respects" - again, via that interview. His grandfather was born in Argentina, making him Argentine of descent - so, for an article here his nationality would need to be proven. RPSfd (talk) 15:09, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

**Kendry Tejada** (born 28 January 1999) - Tejada is listed on a few sites as Argentine, however he is from the Dominican Republic and only moved to Argentina in 2008 - per this. RPSfd (talk) 23:00, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

#### Nationality likely not Argentine

**Mauro Heredia** (born 7 May 2002) - All statistical sites claim he is Argentine, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I couldn't find anything absolutely concrete, but his agency use a Chilean flag for him, video game Football Manager have him as Chilean and so does the ANFP, Chile's football organizational body. It's possible he is Argentine, but that will need proving. RPSfd (talk) 02:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

**Adam Ozeri** (born 7 March 1998) - Soccerway say Ozeri has Argentine nationality, though that doesn't seem to be the case - with only Israeli and American nationality shown as far as I could see. RPSfd (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

**Cristian Castillo** (born 19 December 1998) - Though not entirely confirmed, I do not believe Cristian Castillo is Argentine. His name is, at least to me, Colombian-sounding, and in his Instagram bio he uses the Colombian flag - no Argentine flag. The only sites that say he is Argentine are statistical sites which can get nationalities mixed sometimes. It's possible he is Argentine, possibly of descent, but a clearer source is needed. RPSfd (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

**Marcos Andreini** (born 20 August 198?) - Soccerway say Marcos Andreini is Argentine, though it appears likely - but not 100% certain - that he is actually Brazilian; per transfermarkt, at least. Some (unreliable) forums online also state Brazilian, though one I found did state Argentine. Proof of nationality needed before any creation. RPSfd (talk) 22:54, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

**Miguel Nicolau** (born 19 February 1986) - Soccerway say this Miguel Nicolau is Argentine, though that does not appear to be the case - he is seemingly Guatemalan. World Football list him as such, while this local source lists a squad of players with flag emojis for foreigners (including for one Argentine) but doesn't have one next to Nicolau; implying that he is from Guatemala. It's possible he has joint nationality, but that's not shown - proof would be needed. RPSfd (talk) 01:12, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

**Daniel Carnevali** (born 8 October 2000) - He is the grandson of the Argentine namesake, though that's as far as the Argentina connection goes as far as I can tell; this suggests Spanish. No proof of Argentine nationality found, nor an Argentine-born parent. Further proof needed. RPSfd (talk) 16:02, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

**Néstor Esteche** (born 27 February 2000) - Esteche is linked by European media, namely Bosnian, as Argentine. However, it would appear that he is actually Paraguayan. RPSfd (talk) 17:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

**Marcelo Bravo** (born 17 January 2002) - Marcelo Bravo, potentially aka Marcelo Pino, is listed as Argentine on Soccerway and World Football, but without a birthplace - with WF listing Chilean as a double nationality. However, This from ANFP (Chile's FA) notes the player as Chilean. It's possible he is Argentine-born, but further proof needed. RPSfd (talk) 20:42, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

**Noé Moise** (born 15 February 2003) - Some statistical sites note Moise as Argentine. I do not believe this to be true. I found no proof to support that claim, while this notes him as Ivorian - and his Instagram bio features the Ivorian flag. RPSfd (talk) 22:14, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

**Luca Colángelo** (born 19 June 2001) - Some sites state Colángelo as Argentine but do not mention a birthplace. It would appear that Colángelo is a Spanish-born Italian (of Italian descent), according to this. He himself, on Instagram, only references Italy in his bio. It is possible that he may be of Argentine descent, but that is not enough for us unless he has, per TheRules, Argentine nationality and an Argentine-born parent (not any other relative) - on that latter note, this notes his father (not named or associated to a nation) went to Spain at the age of 17 and "stayed to live there forever". RPSfd (talk) 16:46, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

**Benjamín García** (born 18 March 2000) - It appears that Benjamín García is Uruguayan, not Argentine. I couldn't find anything truly concrete, but World Football lists him as being a Uruguayan born in Paysandú and an AFA bulletin notes he joined San Lorenzo from a team in Uruguay. Worth noting he played in the US, per this, but no nationality revealed. RPSfd (talk) 00:51, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

#### Transfers

**Fernando Juárez** (born 27 January 1992) - Soccerway say he joined Alcalá in 2015, though there is no other confirmation of said move. LaPreferente don't seem to have a profile for him, while Alcalá don't seem to have publicised his arrival. All I could find was this tweet, which states Juárez is headed to the club - but that is it. I assume he went over for a trial and/or the move fell through, with Soccerway jumping the gun. It's possible he did join, but clarity is needed before an article is created for him. RPSfd (talk) 19:12, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

**Juan Pereyra** (born 6 June 1988) - Unsure if this player even exists/existed. I could only find a page for him on Soccerway, which is bare bones anyway with just a team (Italy's Vado of Serie D, at one point) and no other information aside from a DOB of 6 June 1988. I used those small details on Google and found nothing. It could be a fake player, or a split off/mix up with a different player. Clearer understanding needed before any creation. RPSfd (talk) 00:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

**Brayan Ayetz** (born 14 June 1997) - Soccerway, plus other stat sites and a few media sites, claim Ayetz joined Magallanes in 2018. I do not believe he did, as I've found zero confirmation. This, assuming it is the player himself, post on his social media leaves it open - he refers to this media release as being very bad in reference to initially stating in the past that it would be good/is good, but that could just mean he didn't officially join due to (e.g.) contract issues or that he did join but failed to play. Clarification needed. He has since played regional football in Argentina. RPSfd (talk) 01:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

**Enzo Permuchi** (born 14 December 1997) - Unclear if he officially joined Nueva Concepción in Guatemala. The club put up a post on 27 December 2021 here, though by 10 January 2022 Sur24 reported that he "had everything agreed" to head to Guatemala but had since signed for San Jorge in Liga Venadense. Proof of a completed move needed in order to create, unless they go abroad elsewhere. RPSfd (talk) 19:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

**Cuca Salas (aka Gianluca)** (born ?) - Soccerway notes Salas as a Wellington Olympic player, but this and this note him as only be on trial - and I've so far found no proof of a move there. RPSfd (talk) 08:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

**Juan Pablo Paciullo** (born 24 June 1982) - It is unclear if Paciullo played at senior level for Necaxa. I've found no proof of any appearances, and barely anything of a move there - BDFA list his spell with Necaxa as 2001, while Paciullo's linkedin notes his time there from 2000 to 2004 - he then becomes a fitness coach, so I assume he retired due to injury or loss of interest. Either way, clearer source needed. RPSfd (talk) 11:15, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

### Managers

**Antonio Mur** (born 29 April 1964) - Soccerway claims manager spells with Lorca Deportiva and The Strongest. As far as I can tell, he was only assistant at those two clubs - with any 'manager' spells being temporary (but not as an official interm). RPSfd (talk) 12:07, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

**Javier Bergés** (born 29 April 1964) - Soccerway note a 2023 spell as manager of León in Mexico. As far as I can tell, he was only assistant manager with León. RPSfd (talk) 23:11, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

## Soccerway

Due to the recent Spanish league restructuring, the leagues listed on a player's Soccerway profile may be incorrect; e.g. Segunda División B shows up as Primera División RFEF, despite them being seperate (at least to us) divisions. Make sure to double-check. RPSfd (talk) 23:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
