Franco Nicola Albanell

Franco Nicola Albanell arrived at Atlético Tucumán in August 2024 on a free loan from Liverpool FC of Montevideo, an agreement that runs until December 2026 and includes an option to buy. It marked the forward's first move outside Uruguay, following spells at Montevideo City Torque, where his career began in 2022, and then at Liverpool, where he had signed the previous year.

With Liverpool he won the 2024 Supercopa Uruguaya, beating Defensor Sporting 1-0. That success came shortly before his switch to Tucumán, so he left Montevideo with a fresh trophy in hand rather than as an unproven prospect.

A left-footed forward, Albanell wears the number 10 shirt at the Argentine club. His move remains, for now, the defining line of a career still built on short chapters: two seasons in Uruguay's top flight before the step across the River Plate to Tucumán.
