Mariano Konyk Goba (born 15 February 1998) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a central defender.[1]

Club career[edit]

Born in Buenos Aires, Konyk moved to Barcelona at the age of five and represented UB Catalònia, UDA Gramenet, RCD Espanyol and Valencia CF as a youth.[2] On 10 May 2017, as his deal with the Che was due to expire, he agreed to a contract with FC Barcelona.[3]

On 26 July 2017, after being told that he would be loaned out, Konyk opted to terminate his contract with the Catalans.[4] Strongly linked to Real Madrid's reserves, he signed a three-year deal with Sevilla FC on the same day, being initially assigned to the B-side in Segunda División.[5]

Konyk made his professional debut on 19 August 2017, starting in a 1–1 away draw against CA Osasuna.[6] On 31 January 2019, he was loaned to Segunda División B side CE Sabadell FC.[7]

On 1 August 2019, Konyk agreed to a two-year contract with another reserve team, CA Osasuna B in the third division.[8] On 29 September 2020, after struggling severely with injuries in the past seasons, he terminated his contract with the club and retired from professional football at the age of just 22.[9]

Personal life[edit]

Born in Argentina, Konyk is of Ukrainian descent.[10][11][12]
