He operates mainly as a left winger, but can also play as a second striker or a forward.<BR><BR><STRONG>Estudiantes<BR><BR><\/STRONG>A product of Estudiantes de La Plata&#39;s youth ranks, Piatti made the headlines when coach Diego Simeone gave him his first opportunity against Newell&#39;s Old Boys on 18 November 2006, as the player was just 17. He scored the winning goal (2&#8211;1) deep into injury time, and became one of the heroes of Estudiantes&#39; championship-winning team.<BR><BR>Piatti made the side&#39;s starting eleven in the 2007 Clausura tournament, alongside midfielders Jos&#233; Luis Calder&#243;n, Juan Sebasti&#225;n Ver&#243;n and Jos&#233; Ernesto Sosa.<BR><BR><STRONG>Almer&#237;a<BR><BR><\/STRONG>After making 60 appearances in all competitions for Estudiantes in two years, he was sold to UD Almer&#237;a in Spain, for an undisclosed fee.

On 23 September 2009, he opened and closed the scoresheet in a 2&#8211;2 draw at Atl&#233;tico Madrid and, in the second La Liga match between the two teams, netted a last-minute winner (1&#8211;0).<BR><BR><STRONG>Valencia<BR><BR><\/STRONG>On 5 July 2011, Almer&#237;a and Valencia CF reached an agreement for the transfer of Piatti, with the player signing a five-year contract for a fee of &#8364;7,5 million. He struggled to reproduce his previous form during most of his first season with the Che.<BR><BR>Piatti scored his first official goal for Valencia on 19 January 2012, netting the 3&#8211;1 in the 45th minute of an eventual 4&#8211;1 home win against Levante UD, for the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
