Ramón Lentini (born 24 October 1988 in Posadas) is an Argentine football striker who plays for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza.
Career
A southpaw, Lentini was a staple of the Estudiantes de La Plata youth system since 2003, achieving renown as a scorer: he has a hundred goals to his name in the youth and reserve teams. Lentini signed his first professional contract at the age of 19, and made his debut with the squad on 7 December 2008 in a game against Colón de Santa Fe. Three days later, in his second game, a 2-1 defeat to Godoy Cruz, he scored his first goal. His second goal for Estudiantes was a crucial header against Peruvian side Sporting Cristal that cemented Estudiantes’ entry into the group stage of 2009 Copa Libertadores.
With the arrival of coach Alejandro Sabella, Lentini had fewer opportunities and was loaned to Quilmes together with fellow scorer prospect Mauricio Carrasco for the 2009-10 season. His first goal for Quilmes was on September 25, 2009 against San Martín de San Juan. Lentini was part of the Quilmes squad that obtained promotion to the Argentine Primera División. He returned to Estudiantes at the end of the season and was again loaned to a second division side, Instituto de Córdoba.
