Career[]

A southpaw, Lentini was a staple of the Estudiantes de La Plata youth system since 2003,^[1] achieving renown as a scorer: he has a hundred goals to his name in the youth and reserve teams.^[1] Lentini signed his first professional contract at the age of 19, and made his debut with the squad on 7 December 2008 in a game against Colón de Santa Fe. Three days later, in his second game, a 2-1 defeat to Godoy Cruz, he scored his first goal. His second goal for Estudiantes was a crucial header against Peruvian side Sporting Cristal that cemented Estudiantes' entry into the group stage of 2009 Copa Libertadores.^[2]

With the arrival of coach Alejandro Sabella, Lentini had fewer opportunities and was loaned to Quilmes together with fellow scorer prospect Mauricio Carrasco for the 2009-10 season. His first goal for Quilmes was on September 25, 2009 against San Martín de San Juan.^[3] Lentini was part of the Quilmes squad that obtained promotion to the Argentine Primera División. He returned to Estudiantes at the end of the season and was again loaned to a second division side, Instituto de Córdoba.^[4]
