Marcelo Alexis Weigandt (born 11 January 2000) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami, on loan from Argentine Primera División club Boca Juniors.[2]

Club career[edit]

Weigandt came through the youth ranks of Boca Juniors, having joined in 2007 from Club Villa Ideal.[4][5] His breakthrough came during the 2018–19 Primera División campaign, as he was an unused substitute for league fixtures with Gimnasia y Esgrima and Newell's Old Boys.[2][6][7] Gustavo Alfaro selected the defender for his senior debut in the Copa Argentina on 19 April 2019 versus Torneo Federal A's Estudiantes, he played the full duration of a 2–0 victory.[2] He appeared again later that month in the Copa de la Superliga versus Godoy Cruz, as they won the round of sixteen first leg away from home.[2]

After ten further appearances for Boca, including five in the Copa Libertadores, Weigandt was loaned out in 2020–21 to fellow Primera División side Gimnasia y Esgrima.[8]

In March 2024, Weigandt joined Major League Soccer club Inter Miami on loan for the duration of the 2024 season.[9]

International career[edit]

Weigandt represented Argentina at the 2017 South American U-17 Championship in Chile, featuring against Venezuela and Paraguay as they were eliminated at the first group stage.[2] He previously appeared at the 2015 South American U-15 Championship in Colombia, winning the bronze medal.[10][11] Weigandt received a call-up from the U20s in March 2019.[12][13][14] He subsequently received a place in Fernando Batista's squad for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.[15] He appeared in matches with Portugal and South Korea as Argentina were eliminated at the round of sixteen.[2]
