Juan Francisco Brunetta (born 12 May 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Liga MX club Tigres UANL.[2]

Club career[edit]

Brunetta's youth career started with Boca Juniors, he remained there between 2006 and 2009 when he joined the ranks of Estudiantes and subsequently Arsenal de Sarandí.[3] He was promoted into the first-team squad of the latter for the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División season.[2] He made his Arsenal debut on 13 September in a home loss to Atlético Tucumán.[2] Four matches later, versus Banfield, Brunetta scored his first career goal.[2][4] Brunetta signed a new three-year contract with Arsenal in January 2017.[5] However, in August, Brunetta joined Belgrano.[2][6] His first match came in the Copa Argentina against Defensores de Belgrano.[2]

On 15 June 2019, having suffered relegation with Belgrano, Brunetta was announced as a new signing for Godoy Cruz ahead of 2019–20.[7][8] He scored six goals, including braces over Gimnasia y Esgrima and Patronato, across twenty-three total appearances for the club.[2] On 3 October 2020, Brunetta headed to Italian football after he was loaned to Serie A's Parma for an initial two-year term.[9] The deal included an obligation to buy, which would come into effect at the conclusion of the loan as the attacking midfielder agreed a contract until 2025.[9] He scored twice on his first start, netting against Cosenza in the Coppa Italia fourth round on 25 November.[2]

On 23 June 2022, Brunetta was loaned to Santos Laguna for a season, with an option to buy.[10]
