Julián Simón Carranza

Julián Simón Carranza attacks space and runs beyond the line, using his pace to threaten the channels. Julián Simón Carranza began his senior career at Banfield in 2017, then made a breakthrough with Philadelphia Union in MLS, before a European move to Feyenoord and a subsequent loan to Leicester City. Carranza presses high and drives at defenders to create separation, while holding up the ball when needed. He transferred to Feyenoord in 2024 and later joined Club Necaxa, after a brief spell on loan at Leicester City. The 2022 MLS hat-trick for Philadelphia Union marked a turning point, showing his knack for getting shots off quickly. At Necaxa, Carranza operates as a mobile centre-forward who links play with one-touch layoffs and presses from the front. His role focuses on occupying the back line and finishing moves when space opens. Carranza finishes moves when chances appear and keeps the attack moving through smart positioning and timing.
