Julián Velázquez

Velázquez debuted with Independiente aged 19 in a 1–0 home win over Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, for the 13th fixture of the 2009 Apertura. Under Américo Gallego's coaching, he started the game as a left back replacing Lucas Mareque (who was suspended). In 2010, he was a regular for Independiente in their Copa Sudamericana winning campaign, scoring two goals in the competition (one in the final against Goiás). In July 2012 he was about to join Italian club Genoa. However, as the club had spent a non-EU signing quota from abroad on Anselmo de Moraes, the deal collapsed. In January 2015, Velázquez signed with Italian Serie A club Palermo. He immediately went out on loan to Romanian club Gaz Metan Mediaș. On the 12th of August 2015, Julian Velazquez was confirmed to be the newest signing of 1. HNL giants HNK Hajduk Split, signing a one-year deal. He was the first Argentinian to play for the Croatian club. He proved to be a great player for Hajduk and became instantly a first team regular but injuries prevented him from playing even more. On 7 June 2016, his loan at Hajduk Split ended. On 21 May 2024, PSBS Biak has officially reached an agreement with Julián Velázquez to join the team for the next 2 seasons.

He made his debut with the national team on April 20, 2011, on the occasion of the friendly match against Ecuador equalized 2-2.
