Juan Manuel Iturbe Arévalos (born 4 June 1993) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a forward for Hellas Verona in the Serie A.

The media have dubbed Iturbe as the "new Lionel Messi", because of their many comparisons.[1] With Iturbe being an Argentine, quick on the ball, a goal-scorer and his diminutive stature being 1.69m tall, all of which are Messi's traits.[2][3]

Club career

Cerro Porteño

Iturbe started playing first team football with Cerro Porteño on 28 June 2009, at age 16, on a game against Libertad, valid for the 21st week of the Paraguayan Primera División.

Being 17 years of age, Iturbe was not under professional contract with Cerro Porteño.[4] Therefore, he trained with Quilmes of the Argentine Primera División.[5] In January 2011, Iturbe confirmed he was signing with Portuguese club FC Porto. He will join the team when he turns 18.[6] After agreeing on said move to FC Porto, he returned to Cerro Porteño in February, where he remained until his 18th birthday in June. He scored a brace on his first Copa Libertadores game shortly after that.[7]

Porto

On 30 September 2012, Iturbe played for F.C. Porto's B team in a 1–1 home draw against Penafiel.

Loan to River Plate

It was confirmed on 29 December 2012 that Iturbe had joined River Plate on a six–month loan.[8][9][10][10][11][12]

Hellas Verona

Iturbe joined Italian club Hellas Verona, newly promoted to Serie A, on a season-long loan deal for the 2013–14 season.[13] He scored his first goal for the club with a curled free kick as Verona went on to beat Livorno 2–1 on 29 September.[14]

On May, 27th, 2014 Hellas Verona announced Iturbe had been signed on a permanent deal.[15]

International career

Having spent most of his life in Paraguay, Iturbe began his international career in the youth setup of Paraguay. At the age of 16 he was capped in a senior friendly against Chile in 2009,[16] however as this was not a competitive game he could change allegiances if he wished. He later fell out with the management in Paraguay and declared for Argentina.[17]
