Francisco José Navarro Aliaga

On 25 September 2025, Fran Navarro scored the goal that beat Feyenoord in the Europa League.

Navarro came through Levante's academy before moving into Valencia's ranks. A loan to Belgium's Lokeren in 2019 gave him his first taste of first-team football away from Spain, with twelve appearances in the Belgian league.

After a spell at Gil Vicente, Porto signed him in July 2023 for a fee of around €7 million. In 2024 he was loaned to Olympiacos in Greece, where he scored five goals in sixteen matches.

Braga took him on loan from December 2024, and by the summer of 2025 the club had seen enough to activate a buy-out clause worth €2.7 million, making the move permanent. Wearing the number 39 shirt, Navarro has built a record at Braga of 14 goals and 5 assists in 59 appearances.

Navarro has represented Spain at youth level, from the under-17s through to the under-20s, playing in the corresponding European championships, though a call-up to the senior national team has not yet followed.
