[edit] Football career

Son of Sergio Omar Almirón, he started his career at Newell's Old Boys. He was signed by Udinese in 2001.

He then loaned to Verona in 2003. In summer 2004, Empoli bought 50% of player rights,^[1] and finally bought all from Udinese in June, 2006.

He was transferred to Juventus F.C in June 2007 for €9 million.^[2]

He was on loan at AS Monaco FC from January 2008 to July 2008.

He went on loan at Serie A side ACF Fiorentina for the 2008-09 season; the Italian team had an option to buy him outright at the end of the year ^[3], but, at the end of the season, Fiorentina were not interested in the purchase, meaning in June he returned to Juventus. On 20 August 2009 he moved to Bari on loan.^[4]
