Isaías Omar Delpupo (born 31 March 2003) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Sint-Truiden.

Club career

Delpupo began playing football in his native Argentina with the youth academies of General Gelly, Rivadavia de Peyrano, Trafico de Pergamino, Provincial de Pergamino and CA El Socorro.[1] He moved to Italy at the age of 13 and joined Cagliari, where he worked his way up their youth categories.[2] On 15 June 2021, he extended his contract until June 2023.[3] On 17 June 2022, he again extended his contract with the club until June 2025.[4] He made his senior and professional debut with Cagliari as a late substitute in a 2–0 Serie B loss to Modena on 3 February 2023.[5]

On 31 July 2023, Delpupo joined Pontedera on loan.[6]

On 9 August 2024, Delpupo signed with Sint-Truiden in Belgium,[7] but was sent-off six minutes into his debut as substitute against Union Saint-Gilloise in a 0-0 draw later that month, and was not picked for a matchday squad for the next two months.

International career

Born in Argentina, Delpupo is of Italian descent and holds dual citizenship.[8] On 1 June 2022, he was called up to represent the Italy U19s.[9] A couple of weeks later, on 24 June 2022, he was called up to the Argentina U20s.[10]

Playing style

Delpupo is a left-footed, quick, technical and very physical attacking midfielder. He is a great dribbler and can quickly play a pass, assisting in the transition from midfield to attack.[11]
