Club career

Zárate's career started with Independiente in 2013, making his professional bow during a win over Boca Unidos in the Copa Argentina on 22 May; his first league appearance arrived a month later against Colón.[2][3] Zárate scored the first goal of his career versus Godoy Cruz in October 2014.[2] On 1 January 2016, fellow Argentine Primera División team Temperley loaned Zárate until December 2017.[2] He scored goals against Huracán and Colón throughout thirty-one appearances for Temperley.[2] In January 2018, Latvian Higher League side FK Liepāja completed the signing of Zárate.[2] He made his debut in a March win over Riga FC.[2]

International career

2011 saw Zárate win a total of nine caps for the Argentina U17s at the 2011 South American Under-17 Football Championship and 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[2]

Personal life

In September 2017, Zárate was convicted of rape.[4][5][6] However, he remained free during the appeals process and was allowed to join Latvia's FK Liepāja in March 2018.[4][5][6] Zárate's appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court of Argentina on 3 December 2018, with final sentencing to be decided.[7][8][9] A year later, on 5 December 2019, a court in Buenos Aires rejected Zárate's second appeal.[10] Despite this, a Lomas de Zamora court denied a request for Zárate to be arrested on 16 December; with the Supreme Court case still pending.[11] On 3 July 2020, Zárate was arrested after the court rejected his appeal and jailed to serve his six-and-a-half-year sentence.[12][13] He subsequently filed a further complaint appeal to the Supreme Court.[12][13]
