Francisco Martín Baridó (born 31 December 2007)[1] is an Argentine footballer who plays as a midfielder for the under-20 (Campionato Primavera 1) team of Serie A club Juventus.
Club career
Born in the city of Adrogué, Baridó began his career playing for Central Marmól in futsal, at just five years old. His insinuating dribbles ended up catching the attention of Boca Juniors, the team where he did most of his training as a youngster. Besieged by European teams such as Spanish La Liga club Barcelona,[2] he remained with the Xeneize team until January 2024, when he ended up signing with Italian Serie A club Juventus on a free transfer, since his parents emigrated to Italy via acquired citizenship and emancipated him (patria potestad).[3][4][5][6]
International career
Born in Argentina, Baridó is of Croatian descent through his mother.[7] He represented the Argentine youth teams that competed in the 2023 South American U-15 Championship (held in October 2024),[8] and in 2025 South American U-17 Championship.[3]
