Estudiantes club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 4 players club-trained at Estudiantes now play for other clubs we track, led by Mikel Amondarain (Bologna, value €13m), Franco Zapiola (Platense, value €4m) and Iván Erquiaga (Instituto, value €680k).

• Mikel Amondarain · Bologna · €13m
• Franco Zapiola · Platense · €4m
• Iván Erquiaga · Instituto · €680k
• Nicolás Palavecino · Defensa y Justicia · €670k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
