  Pablo Aimar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pablo Cesar Aimar (born November 3, 1979 in Rio Cuarto, Argentina) is an Argentinian football player, who currently plays attacking midfielder for Valencia of the Spanish Liga.
Aimar began his ascent to stardom with River Plate, whose first team he joined for the 1997/8 season after rejecting a place at medical school, and with whom he quickly established himself as one of the best young players in Argentina.
The purchase proved justified, however, as Aimar helped lead the team to a first-place finish in the 2001/2 Spanish season, as well as to a 2001 UEFA Champions League final, in which they were defeated by Bayern Munich.

 rediff.com: 2002 FIFA World Cup - Aimar hopes to give Argentina edge in skill
Aimar entered the wider football consciousness when he took over Argentina's playmaking role from the disappointing Juan Sebastian Veron in the second half against England and lifted their game.
Aimar was reminded that he and defender Diego Placente had been in a similar situation to the one now facing Argentina's World Cup team, when the under-20s lost a group match in Malaysia.
Aimar went on to grab a regular place in an attractive River Plate side that also included wonder kid striker Javier Saviola, whose absence in Japan many fans regret, and Colombian centre forward Juan Pablo Angel.

Aimar is not considered a certain starter for Valencia, having made several appearances from the bench already this season and he becoming increasingly unsettled.
Aimar would no doubt relish the chance to link-up with Benitez at Anfield, but even the interest in the Argentine would lead to suggestions about the future of some of Benitez's current squad - particularly captain Steven Gerrard.
Aimar's representatives, including Gustavo Mascardi, are planning a visit to Valencia to meet with the club's president Juan Bautista Soler.

With no points from their second group stage games so far, Roma are in dire need of a win, while, with three games remaining, Valencia have the comfort of knowing that they have two home games left.
Aimar was substituted a minute into the second half, and he will be hoping that, should Valencia reach another final in 2002/03, he will be able to demonstrate his sumptuous passing and elegant running to greater effect.
The prospect of reaching the final is all the more tantalising, as it would give Aimar the chance to eclipse the achievements of his footballing hero, Diego Maradona, whose only significant achievement in European football was winning the 1989 UEFA Cup with SSC Napoli.
