Luis Carlos Fariña Olivera (born 20 April 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Portuguese club Benfica.

Club career

Born in Buenos Aires, Fariña graduated from Racing Club de Avellaneda's youth system. He made his professional debut on 28 August 2009, replacing Sebastián Grazzini in a 1–1 home draw against Club Atlético Colón for the Argentine Primera División championship.[2] Fariña appeared sparingly in the following campaigns, mainly used as a backup. He was only utilized regularly in the 2012–13 campaign, after profitting from both Giovanni Moreno and Lucas Castro's departures.

Fariña scored his first professional goals on 19 November 2012, netting a brace in a 4–0 home win against Quilmes Atlético Club.[3] He finished the season with 28 matches and four goals, attracting the interest of S.L. Benfica, S.C. Braga and Sporting CP.[4][5][6]

On 24 July 2013 Fariña signed for Benfica on a five-year deal for €3.5 million, joining fellow Racing teammates José Shaffer and José Luis Fernández.[7][8] On 9 August, however, he was loaned to UAE Arabian Gulf League side Baniyas SC, in a season-long deal.[9] On 27 July 2014, Fariña moved to Deportivo de La Coruña also in a temporary deal.[10] He made his La Liga debut on 23 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Granada CF.[11] Fariña scored his first goal in the main category of Spanish football on 15 December, netting the winner in a home success over Elche CF.[12]

In August 2015 he joined Rayo Vallecano on loan for one season,[13][14] but in January 2016 he was loaned to Universidad de Chile until June.[15]

Personal life

Fariña's parents were born in Paraguay, with himself also holding a Paraguayan citizenship since December 2014.[16]
