Lautaro Alberto Morales (born 16 December 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Talleres, on loan from Lanús.[2]

Club career

Morales progressed through the Lanús youth ranks, signing in 2011.[3] He became a first-team member at the start of the 2019–20 campaign, though wouldn't make a competitive appearance in that season; going unused on the bench twenty-eight times in total.[2] His senior debut did arrive at the beginning of the next season, though, with the goalkeeper playing the full duration of a victory over Brazilian side São Paulo in the Copa Sudamericana second stage, first leg on 28 October 2020.[2]

On 5 August 2022, Morales joined Newell's Old Boys on a loan deal until June 2023.[4]

On 10 August 2023, Lanús sent Morales on loan to Argentine Primera División side Talleres until 31 December 2024, with a future option to make the move permanent.[5]

International career

In 2017, with no prior youth call-ups, Morales was selected to train with the Argentine senior squad ahead of friendlies with Brazil and Singapore in Asia and Oceania.[6][7] Two years later, Morales was called up by Argentina for the 2019 South American U-20 Championship in Chile.[2] He didn't make an appearance but was on the bench for all nine matches as they qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, though he didn't make the squad for that tournament in Poland.[2]

Personal life

In September 2020, it was confirmed that Morales had tested positive for COVID-19 amid the pandemic; he isolated after showing symptoms.[8][9][10]
