According to Mediaset, who is Agustín Modica? The Argentine striker, born in Liguria, has become the top scorer in the Argentine league, attracting the attention of both Juventus and Fiorentina.

This rising star of Argentine football, with a faint Ligurian accent, is constantly scoring goals for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza. Agustín Modica quickly made headlines with 3 goals in 3 matches, and recently scored a brace against Unión de Santa Fe. Although the season has just begun, he is already the top scorer in the current Torneo Clausura.

Modica holds dual Argentine and Italian passports, born on January 12, 2003, in Pietra Ligure, Savona province. At that time, his father Pablo was still playing in the lower leagues of Liguria, and it was two years later that he returned to South America with his family. Modica himself does not hide his dream of wearing the blue jersey: "Yes, without a doubt, playing for the national team is every player's dream."

Modica had a brief stint at Newell's Old Boys before developing in the Rosario Central youth academy. The 1.87-meter tall forward has experienced several high-intensity moments: a massive clash in a youth derby in 2022, his debut for Rosario Central's first team in September 2023, and his first Copa Libertadores goal that same year.

In August 2024, he suffered a cruciate ligament and meniscus injury in a collision with an advertising board, sidelining him for almost a year. He then made a comeback at Gimnasia de Mendoza, regaining consistent playing time and a strong goal-scoring touch. Modica's performances have already attracted the attention of Serie A scouts. A year ago, Juventus set their sights on him; more recently, he has been linked with Fiorentina, who are prepared to invest in an affordable player with low market value.
