Mini bio
How it started.
Franco was born in Azul, Argentina, and says he started playing football at three or four. Tennis came a little later. When River Plate wanted him for their youth teams, he chose football with his parents’ support. He joined River’s academy in 2019.
Breaking through at River.
He reached River’s first team in January 2024, aged 16. That February, a goal against Excursionistas in the Copa Argentina made him the youngest scorer in the club’s history. He also won an Argentine Super Cup with River. By April 2025, fans had another moment to remember: his free kick in a 2-1 Superclásico win over Boca Juniors.
Argentina and Europe.
His senior Argentina debut came against Chile in June 2025, setting the national team’s record for its youngest player in a competitive match. Real Madrid announced his signing that month and presented him on his 18th birthday. He made his Madrid debut against Osasuna and scored his first goal against Levante.
The Florence chapter.
In August 2026, Madrid agreed a loan to Fiorentina through June 2027. His first career hat-trick followed at Venezia in September. In November, he scored the late goal that put Fiorentina ahead in a 4-2 win at Sassuolo.
