Giuliano Galoppo (born 18 June 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Argentine club River Plate.[1]
Banfield
Galoppo joined Boca Juniors' youth ranks in 2014, after playing for Atlético de Rafaela.[3][4] He had previously trained with clubs in Italy due to his father playing in the country.[4] In 2016, Galoppo joined Banfield.[4]
Galoppo was promoted to the club's first-team during the 2017–18 Primera División season, subsequently being an unused substitute on six occasions across Primera División, Copa Argentina and Copa Sudamericana matches before making his bow.[1][5] In November 2018, he made his professional debut during a Primera División draw away to Racing Club; Julio César Falcioni substituted him on after seventy-eight minutes for Luciano Gómez.[6]
Galoppo's first start came in the succeeding March against Defensa y Justicia, which preceded him featuring four times off the bench in 2019–20.[1] He scored his first league goal against River Plate on 4 November 2020, scoring in the 37th minute.[7]
Galoppo then scored five goals in twelve appearances, one in each of the club's five away games, in the 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional as they reached the final; where they'd lose out to his ex-club Boca Juniors.[1] During the subsequent 2021 edition, the midfielder scored on matchday one at home to Racing Club before netting a brace on matchday two away against Arsenal de Sarandí.[1][8]
São Paulo
On 26 July 2022, Galoppo joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club São Paulo, signing a contract until June 2027.[9] He made his league debut against Athletico Paranaense on 31 July,[10] and scored his first league goal against Goiás on 13 November.[11]
Galoppo started the 2023 season by scoring in a regular basis, before suffering a knee injury in March of that year;[12] despite his injury, he finished the 2023 Campeonato Paulista as a top scorer alongside Róger Guedes. He spent eight months sidelined, missing the remainder of the year.[13]
Galoppo also struggled with injuries during the 2024 campaign, also having limited playing time under head coach Luis Zubeldía.[14][15]
Loan to River Plate
On 3 January 2025, Galoppo joined River Plate on loan until the end of the year.[16]
International career
In February 2018, Galoppo was selected to train with the Argentina U19s.[17]
