Club career
Early career
Nicknamed Juampi, as he is often known in Argentina, Sorín began his career playing in the lower-reaches of the Argentine league for Argentinos Juniors, a Buenos Aires football club. He broke into the first team in 1994 and during the 1995–96 season, after he captained the Argentina Under-20 side who won the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship played in Qatar, his contract was bought by Italian club Juventus. However, he struggled to find space in an already established first-team under manager Marcello Lippi, totalling only four appearances for the club; as such, he soon returned to Argentina.[6]

He signed a three-year contract on a €3m transfer fee.[12][13] After two years with the German club, and only 24 appearances because of injury, Sorín left when his contract expired on 15 July 2008.[14]
Second Return to Cruzeiro and Retirement

He signed a contract until the end of season, with the option to renew for two more years.[15] He played his only match since his return in a Série A game on 14 June 2009, and after another injury-riddled year with Cruzeiro, he announced his retirement on 28 July 2009.[16]
