Agustín Juárez (born 24 May 2005) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Recreativo Granada, on loan from Newell's Old Boys.
Early life
Born in Junín, Buenos Aires, Juárez began his career with hometown side Club Defensa Argentina, but had to leave football at the age of 12 to help his family to earn money. He worked selling socks, cutting grass in the neighborhoods and sweeping the sidewalks of elder people in exchange of food, and also went on to beg for groceries in local businesses.[1]
After losing his mother in 2020 due to an illness, Juárez spent five months taking care of his three younger brothers on his own, before moving to Rufino to live with his father. At the city, he worked as a bricklayer while playing for CPEF Matienzo de Rufino.[1]
Career
Juárez went on trials at Newell's Old Boys, before eventually joining the club in 2023.[2] After playing with the reserve side, he made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 5 October 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute for Juan Manuel García in a 2–1 home win over Lanús.[3]
On 26 October 2024, Juárez signed his first professional contract with Newell's, until December 2026.[4] He scored his first goal as a senior on 15 December, scoring his side's second in a 3–1 away win over Talleres de Córdoba.[5]
On 25 January 2025, Juárez moved abroad and joined Granada CF on a one-year loan deal, and was initially assigned to the B-team in Segunda Federación.[6]
