About Aníbal Moreno

Aníbal Ismael Moreno (born 13 May 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Palmeiras.

Club career
Moreno played the last part of his youth career in Newell's Old Boys' system, signing on 20 January 2013 from Academia Duchini following stints with Barrio Nuevo and Villa Dolores. After progressing through their academy, Moreno made his bow in professional football on 25 February 2019 as the club faced San Martín at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa; he was substituted on in place of Maxi Rodríguez during a 3–0 win.

On 15 February 2021, Moreno joined fellow league club Racing Club on a one-year loan deal with a charge of $1 million, and a purchase option that, with bonuses, could potentially reach a total of $6 million. The purchase option would turn into an obligation if Moreno had played a certain number of matches for Racing during the season, which he did, therefore as of 1 January 2022, he became a permanent Racing player. He signed a deal until the end of 2025.
