Éver Maximiliano David Banega (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈeβer βaˈneɣa]; born 29 June 1988) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Italian club Internazionale and the Argentina national team as a central midfielder.
He started his career with Boca Juniors, and signed with Valencia in 2008 where he remained for several years, appearing in 162 official games and winning the 2008 Copa del Rey. After joining Sevilla in 2014, he conquered consecutive Europa League trophies.
Banega won an Olympic medal in 2008 with Argentina, and appeared in three Copa América tournaments, helping the team to the final of the 2015 and 2016 editions.
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Banega came through the youth ranks at Boca Juniors, reaching the first team at 18, and winning immediate recognition thanks to his passing average and his performances in the Primera División. After teammate midfielder Fernando Gago moved to Real Madrid in January 2007, he was named as his successor despite his young age.
Banega made his professional debut in the 4–0 win against Club Atlético Banfield on 10 February 2007. On 1 April, just a few matches afterwards, he was given an ovation when he left the field.
