According to "tuttob.com" Italian website, Argentinos Juniors' striker rejected Hellas Verona's transfer bid because of Panathinaikos. Technical director of the Greens, Gilberto Silva, is eager to sign the 23-year-old Argentine and it seems that Lautaro Rinaldi also prefers to continue his career at Greek Super League. Eventually, on 5 August 2016 the young Argentine striker has been signed from Argentine club Argentinos Juniors who were relegated to the second tier in Argentina on a four-year contract for a fee of €300,000.[3] However, despite the big prospects could not find a regular place in the squad and the Argentinian striker has been considering a move as a loan, to either MLS or Qatar in the summer transfer window. On 31 August 2017, he signed with Serie B club Brescia.[4] On 20 June 2022, he joined Austrian Bundesliga club WSG Tirol.[5]
