The former Argentina international’s mother died of a serious form of cancer that she had been fighting for more than four years, since the time the 33-year-old played in Serie A.
Gonzalo and his brother Federico, both playing for the MLS team in USA, rushed to their mother’s bedside once they heard her conditions had worsened.
The Inter Miami attacker has, in recent times, always tried to stay close to his mother, returning to Argentina whenever possible.
The third brother, Nicolas, who is the agent of the other two, had confirmed in March 2020, when the former Bianconeri striker travelled to Argentina during the COVID-19 pandemic that their mother had been ‘very ill’.
“Our mother has been very ill for four years with cancer and is continuing her battle,” he then wrote on Twitter.
