Luis Amarilla

In 2019, on loan from Vélez Sarsfield to Universidad Católica in Quito, Luis Amarilla scored 19 goals in 24 matches. He was named in the team of the tournament.

The route there ran through Libertad, where he came up and where he won the Paraguayan Clausura title in 2014, and through two loan spells at 3 de Febrero and Sol de América that produced little. Vélez signed him in 2017 and then kept sending him out. After Católica came LDU Quito in 2021, 31 matches, 15 goals and the Ecuadorian Supercup.

Between those two seasons sat Minnesota United. The first loan, in 2020, lasted seven matches and two goals before an ankle injury on 2 September; he had surgery that November, which ended his season. He returned to Minnesota in February 2022 as a Designated Player on a two-year deal with an option, and made 53 appearances with 13 goals. He left for Mazatlán in Mexico in July 2023 as a free agent and stayed until 2025.

He joined Cerro Porteño on 1 July 2025. The club took the title, and reached the Paraguayan Supercup final. On 29 July 2026 Cerro loaned him to Juventude in Brazil until the end of the season.

His senior debut for Paraguay came on 2 September 2021, a World Cup qualifier lost 0-2 to Ecuador. He has four caps and no goals.
