Ian Eduardo Escobar Ibáñez (born 29 May 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Aldosivi, on loan from Talleres.[1]

Career

Escobar's first club was Chacarita Juniors, he began playing for the Primera B Nacional club's senior team during the 2015 season.[1] [2] He made his professional debut in August 2015 in a 1–0 loss to Guillermo Brown, which was the first of thirty appearances in two campaigns with Chacarita Juniors.[1] [3] In July 2016, Escobar was signed by newly promoted Argentine Primera División side Talleres.[4] [5] His first appearance arrived on 25 September versus Banfield at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.[1] On 14 January 2019, Escobar joined San Martín on loan.[6] After breaking contract with San Martin before the start of the Primera Nacional 2020, Escobar joined Godoy Cruz on 2 November 2020.[7] [8]

On 3 January 2022, Escobar joined Banfield on a one-year loan with a purchase option.[9] However, he didn't play as much as expected, why it was confirmed on 14 July 2022, that the spell had been terminated and that Escobar instead had joined fellow league club, Aldosivi, on a loan until the end of 2023 with a purchase option.[10] In his fourth appearance for Aldosivi, Escobar collided with Lanús player Iván Cazal's head, and was brought to the hospital with an ambulance.[11]
