Ignacio Perrucci

The number 5 at San Lorenzo de Almagro belongs to a player the club brought up itself. Ignacio Perruzzi — full name Ignacio Perruzzi Ambrosini — came through San Lorenzo's youth teams, and the youth set-up is the only previous entry on his record. He took the number for the 2024/25 season.

He is an Argentine defensive midfielder, and his place in the first-team squad has been confirmed through the recent period.

The market has begun to put a figure on him. Transfermarkt values him at around €2.5m, and lists him under a player profile of his own — the surname is frequently rendered as "Perrucci", which is not how he spells it.

What he has, at this stage, is a squad number that carries weight at the club and a path into it that never required a move elsewhere.
