José Antonio Paradela (born 15 December 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga MX club Cruz Azul.[2]
Rivadavia were Paradela's first senior club after he started out at Club Atlético Quiroga, with the midfielder making his first two career appearances in the 2016 Torneo Federal B campaign; which Rivadavia ended with promotion to Torneo Federal A.[3][4] After being picked thirty-six times in the subsequent 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, Paradela departed the club on 8 August 2018 after agreeing to join Argentine Primera División side Gimnasia y Esgrima.[2][5][6][7] He made his first appearance on 2 December versus River Plate, appearing for the final twenty-three minutes as he made his Primera División bow under Pedro Troglio.[2]
After twenty-seven appearances for Gimnasia y Esgrima, Paradela completed a transfer to River Plate on 18 February 2021.[8][9] On 17 August 2023, he joined Tigre on a one-year loan, with the option to join permanently.[10]
On 17 January 2024, he joined Liga MX side Necaxa,[11] on a one-year loan with an option to join permanently.[12] After a productive loan spell, in which he recorded 8 goals and 9 assists in 34 games, Paradela joined the club permanently, for a $2 million fee.[13]
On 11 July 2025, Paradela was transferred to Cruz Azul.
