Adolfo Julián Gaich (born 26 February 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Turkish Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor on loan from CSKA Moscow.[5]

Club career

San Lorenzo

Gaich had youth spells with Unión Bengolea, Sportivo Chazón, Atenas and Atlético Pascanas before joining San Lorenzo in 2014.[6][7] Four years later, Gaich was promoted into their first-team under Claudio Biaggio, making his professional debut on 27 August 2018 during a draw with Unión Santa Fe; he had previously been an unused substitute in an Argentine Primera División fixture with Lanús and for a Copa Sudamericana game against Nacional.[2][5] Gaich scored his first senior goal in the following September, netting the opener in a 3–2 win over Patronato; which preceded another two appearances later in the Copa Argentina versus Estudiantes.[5]

CSKA Moscow

On 17 July 2020, Gaich said goodbye to San Lorenzo supporters via Fox Sports' 90 Minutos de Fútbol ahead of a potential move to Russian football with CSKA Moscow.[8] On 30 July 2020, San Lorenzo confirmed the transfer.[9] On 5 August 2020, CSKA announced the signing of a 5-year contract.[10] He made his league debut off the bench against Khimki on 8 August, before starting for the first time in a defeat to Zenit Saint Petersburg on 19 August.[5] Gaich's first goal arrived on 22 October in a UEFA Europa League group stage draw away in Austria against Wolfsberger AC.[5][11]

Loan to Benevento

On 29 January 2021, Gaich moved to Serie A club Benevento on loan.[12][13] The deal includes an option to buy.[12] After sub appearances against Napoli and Hellas Verona, the centre-forward made his first start and scored his first goal in an away match versus Spezia on 6 March.[5] He netted again on 21 March to secure a 1–0 away victory over Juventus.[5]

Loan to Huesca

On 30 August 2021, Gaich switched teams and countries again after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with SD Huesca in the Spanish Segunda División.[14] He returned to CSKA for the 2022–23 season.[15]

Loan to Hellas Verona

On 31 January 2023, Hellas Verona welcomed Adolfo Gaich to the team, the Argentinian striker signed a temporary contract until 30 June 2023 on loan from CSKA Moscow.[16] Before going on loan, Gaich extended his contract with CSKA Moscow until the end of 2025.[17]

Loan to Çaykur Rizespor

On 14 September 2023, CSKA Moscow announced that Gaich extended his contract with CSKA to 2026 and moved on loan to Çaykur Rizespor in Turkey.[18]

International career

In 2018, Gaich was selected by the Argentina U20s for the L'Alcúdia International Tournament in Spain.[6] He scored three goals, one in Argentina's group opener with Venezuela and two on the next matchday against Murcia, in five appearances as his nation won the trophy.[19][20][21][22][23][24] In December, Gaich was picked for the 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[25] Another U20 call-up came in May 2019 as Fernando Batista called him up to his 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup squad.[26] He subsequently scored goals in Poland against South Africa, Portugal and Mali.[5] In the following months, Gaich made the U23s' squad for the 2019 Pan American Games.[27]

At the Pan American Games in Peru, Gaich netted twice on his debut in a 2–3 win over Ecuador; also assisting the other goal.[28] Further goals occurred versus Mexico and Panama, which preceded two in the semi-finals against Uruguay.[29][30] Argentina won the final against Honduras, which gave Gaich a goal medal.[31][32] Gaich was, soon after, selected by Lionel Scaloni's seniors for September friendlies with Chile and Mexico.[33][34] He made his full international bow, aged twenty, in a 4–0 victory over Mexico at the Alamodome on 10 September, having remained on the bench against Chile days prior.[35]
