Club career
Racing Club
Born in Belén de Escobar, Zuculini graduated from Racing Club's youth setup. He made his first-team debut on 13 February 2010, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Gimnasia La Plata for the Argentine Primera División championship, and aged only 16.[3]
Zuculini appeared in further six matches during the campaign, and also played 12 during 2011–12. On 17 June 2012, he scored his first professional goal, but in a 4–2 away loss against Atlético de Rafaela.[4]
In the 2012–13 season, after the departures of Giovanni Moreno and Lucas Nahuel Castro, Zuculini was an ever-present figure for the Avellaneda side, appearing in 32 matches and scoring five goals. On 27 September 2013 he renewed his link with the club, running until 2016.[5]
Manchester City
On 23 July 2014, Zuculini scored the opening goal of Manchester City's pre-season match against Sporting Kansas City.[6] On 8 August, he was officially confirmed as a City player, being assigned the number 36 shirt.[7]
Zuculini made his competitive debut two days later in the 2014 FA Community Shield, replacing Yaya Touré after 60 minutes of an eventual 3–0 defeat to Arsenal at Wembley Stadium.[8] On 10 July 2015, it was confirmed that he would be in the club's squad for their pre-season tour in Australia.[9]
Valencia (loan)
On 19 August 2014, Zuculini was loaned to La Liga's Valencia CF in a season-long deal.[10] He made his debut in the competition on 29 August 2014, coming on at half time for André Gomes in a 3–0 home win against Málaga CF.[11]
On 30 January 2015, Zuculini's loan was rescinded, after appearing just 45 minutes for the Che.[12]
Córdoba (loan)
Hours after rescinding with Valencia, Zuculini joined fellow league team Córdoba CF on loan until June.[13] The team were relegated in last place in the league,[citation needed] and Spanish newspaper Marca named him in their worst team of the season.[14]
Middlesbrough (loan)
Following loan spells in Spain, Zuculini made his first loan move to an English club on 26 October 2015 as he joined Championship club Middlesbrough on a month-long loan.[15]
On 25 November 2015, the loan was extended to 2 January 2016.
AEK Athens (loan)
Zuculini was on loan at AEK Athens until the end of the 2016 Greek Superleague campaign.[16] On 4 February 2016, he made his debut with the club, in an away 1–0 win against Iraklis at Kaftanzoglio Stadium for Greek Cup helping his club to advance to semi finals.[17] On 23 February 2016, Argentine midfielder Zuculini suffered a serious fracture injury in the metatarsal and had to return to England in order to undergo surgery.[18]
Rayo Vallecano (loan)
Zuculini signed on loan for Rayo Vallecano until the end of the 2016–17 Segunda División campaign.[19] On 17 January, after only nine league matches, his loan was cut short and he joined his brother at Verona.[20]
Hellas Verona
After spending the second half of the 2016–17 on loan at Hellas Verona, Zuculini signed a permanent deal with the club on 11 July 2017.[21]
Personal life
Zuculini's older brother Franco is also a footballer and a midfielder. He too was groomed at Racing Club, with both playing together in 2011.[22]
