Franco Petroli (born 11 June 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Lanús.

Club career

Petroli came through the youth setup at River Plate, who he joined aged 10. In 2013, he won the 8th division championship.[1] In January 2018, he was called up by Marcelo Gallardo for pre-season training in the United States.[2]

On June 5 2023, he was loaned to Primera Nacional club Estudiantes RC for 6 months, without a buy option.[3] During his time there, he kept 15 clean sheets in 25 games, only conceding 12 goals in total.[4]

On 4 January 2024, he left River Plate permanently for fellow Liga Profesional side Godoy Cruz, signing a 4-year contract.[5] On 18 February, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win against Racing Club, marking a milestone of 6 clean sheets in a row to begin his spell at Godoy Cruz.[6]

On 15 January 2026, he joined Lanús until the end of 2030, despite a heart problem being found in his medical.[7] Coach Mauricio Pellegrino signed him to provide competition for existing first-choice goalkeeper Nahuel Losada.[8]

International career

In August 2013, he was called up by Miguel Lemme to play in the Under-15 Nations Cup in Mexico. He helped the team to first place, conceding only one goal and being chosen as the best goalkeeper in the tournament.[9] In November, he was part of the Argentina national under-15 team, competing in the 2013 South American under-15 Championship in Bolivia, reaching 3rd place.[10]

On 1 March 2014, he was among the 18 players called up by Lemme to compete in the 2014 South American Games with the under-17 team, in which he won the silver medal.[11] On 25 January 2015, he was included in the preliminary squad of 31 players for the South American U-17 Championship in Paraguay and, on 20 February, made the final squad of 22.[12]

In 2017, he was called up for the Argentina national under-20 team for the South American Championship and the World Cup.[13][14]
