José Agustín Mauri (born 16 May 1996) is an Argentine-born Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Empoli, on loan from Milan.

Club career

Parma

Mauri made his debut for Parma as a substitute on 3 December 2013 in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia, replacing Gianni Munari for the last 27 minutes of a 41 home win against A.S. Varese 1910 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.[1]

On 11 April 2015, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Juventus, with his team in last position and the opponents leading the league.[2] He described it as "the happiest day of my life".[3]

Milan

At the start of the 2015–16 season, Mauri joined Milan on a four-year deal on a free transfer.[4] However, Milan also paid €4 million to unknown parties.[5] Mauri made his first full debut on 1 December, playing 99 minutes of a Coppa Italia game against Crotone, with Milan winning 3–1 after extra time. He made his Serie A debut for Milan against Chievo Verona on 13 March 2016, playing the last five minutes of the 0–0 away draw.

Empoli

On 30 August 2016, he was loaned out to Serie A club Empoli for the season.[6]

International career

As one of his grandmothers was Italian, Mauri is eligible for both Argentina and Italy. Despite playing for Italy's youth international squads, Mauri declined a call-up to the Italian U20 squad, declaring his desire to represent solely Argentina in international competition.
