Hugo Duro Perales

Hugo Duro, a left-footed forward, was born in Getafe, Spain, on 10 November 1999. He developed at Getafe and reached the senior side as a teenager, making his professional debut in the Copa del Rey before appearing in La Liga. After establishing himself with Getafe, Duro moved to Real Madrid for the 2020–21 season, playing for Castilla and making three first-team appearances, including in the Champions League. He then joined Valencia on loan in 2021, where he reunited with former Getafe coach José Bordalás. The move became permanent, and Duro has continued to lead Valencia’s attack from central and occasionally wider positions. He scored seven goals in his first Valencia season and also found the net in the 2022 Copa del Rey final. In later campaigns, Duro became a more prominent focal point, combining pressing and link play with runs into the penalty area.
