Iván Marcone

Iván José Marcone (born 3 June 1990) is an Argentine footballer who is currently plays as a central midfielder for Spanish club Elche CF, on loan from Boca Juniors.

Club career Born in Sarandí, Marcone was an Arsenal de Sarandí youth graduate. He made his professional debut on 18 October 2008, coming on as a second half substitute in a 3-3 home draw against Vélez Sársfield for the Primera División championship.

Marcone scored his first goal on 17 October 2009, netting the first in a 1-1 home draw against Banfield. He was an important midfield unit in the club's 2012 Clausura winning campaign, being an ever-present figure.

Marcone was later linked to La Liga outfit Celta de Vigo and Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, but both offers were rejected by Arsenal. In 2013, he was also strongly linked to Independiente, but nothing came of it.

On 9 January 2015 Marcone joined Getafe CF on loan until June, with a buyout clause. However, the deal was declared void later in the month.
