Alan Agustín Velasco (born 27 July 2002) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Velasco started his career in the youth system of Independiente, having joined the club in 2012.[3][4][5][6] He was promoted into their first-team, aged sixteen, towards the end of the 2018–19 campaign, with the winger initially appearing as an unused substitute for a Copa Sudamericana second stage encounter with Rionegro Águilas on 21 May 2019.[1][7] He was again on the bench for the second leg on 28 May, with Velasco subsequently making his professional debut at the Estadio Libertadores de América; replacing Jony in added time.[1][8] Sixteen appearances later, Velasco scored his first senior goal in the Sudamericana away to FénixinMontevideo.[1]

Velasco, aged eighteen, netted his opening domestic goals in the Copa de la Liga Profesional in November and December against Colón and Argentinos Juniors respectively.[1] That was followed by a strike against Arsenal de Sarandí on 3 January and a brace away to River Plate on 9 January.[1]

On February 1, 2022, Velasco was announced by FC Dallas as its costliest signing ever at that time in a four-year deal reported at $7 million with potentially an additional $1.7M based on incentives. Independiente will also receive 15% of his next sale.[9]

International career

[edit]

Velasco represented Argentina at U15 and U17 level, scoring one goal in four appearances for the latter at the 2019 South American Championship in Peru; which they won.[1][10][11][12] In October 2019, Velasco was called up for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.[13]
