Valentín Román Gasc

Valentín Román Gasc came through the youth ranks at Lanús, where he represented the club at Under-17 level and was part of Argentina's squad for the 2017 South American U-17 Championship, earning two caps for the national side. In March 2021 he left for Finland instead, joining SJK Akatemia, the reserve side of Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho.

The move to Finnish football's lower tiers paid off gradually rather than immediately. Across the 2021 Kakkonen and 2022 Ykkönen campaigns, Gasc made 39 appearances for the reserve team and scored 10 goals, numbers that earned him a first-team promotion at SJK late in 2022. He made six appearances that year before establishing himself as a regular starter from 2023 onwards, going on to make 89 league appearances and score seven goals for SJK through the 2025 season.

When his contract with SJK expired, Gasc moved on as a free agent, with KuPS announcing his signing in early December 2025 on a deal running to the end of 2027. The transfer carried no fee.
