Biography

Leonardo Roque Albano Gil (born 31 May 1991) is an Argentine-Chilean professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Al-Ittihad.

Club career

CAI

Born in Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, Gil finished his formation with CAI, after representing Atlético Boxing Club and CSyD Ferrocarril YCF. He made his first team debut on 3 October 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 Primera B Nacional home loss against Independiente Rivadavia.

Gil became a regular starter from the 2010–11 campaign onwards, as his side suffered two consecutive relegations.

Olimpo

In July 2012, Gil moved to Olimpo in the second division, initially on a one-year loan deal. He scored his first professional goal on 7 October, netting the only goal of the match in an away defeat of Boca Unidos.

An undisputed starter, he contributed with five goals in 35 matches as his side achieved promotion to Primera División. Bought outright during the pre-season, he made his top tier debut on 4 August 2013, starting in a 2–1 loss at San Lorenzo.

Gil scored his first goal in the main category of Argentine football on 9 May 2014, netting the opener in a 3–1 home win against Godoy Cruz.

Estudiantes and loan to Talleres

On 8 January 2015, Gil agreed to a three-year contract with fellow first division side Estudiantes, for an US$ 1 million fee for 50% of his federative rights. He made his debut for the club on 5 February, starting in a 1–0 Copa Libertadores away loss against Independiente del Valle.

Gil never established himself as a regular starter, and was loaned to fellow league team Talleres on 19 July 2016, for one year,

Rosario Central

On 29 July 2017, Gil agreed to a permanent four-year contract with Rosario Central. He made his debut for the club on 26 August by starting in a 1–1 away draw against Colón, and scored his first goal on 23 September by netting the opener in a 1–1 draw at Gimnasia La Plata.

International career

Due to having a Chilean grandmother, Gil is eligible to represent Chile as well as Argentina. In 2015, Jorge Sampaoli wanted to nationalise Gil for Chile but he rejected in favour of pursuing chances with Argentina.

Gil was called up by Argentina's under-20s in May 2011, but never represented the side.
