Ángel Alarcón

Born in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Catalonia, Alarcón started his footballing career at the age of four with amateur side Vista Alegre, where both of his parents played. He joined Barcelona in 2018 from Espanyol, going on to make his debut for the Barcelona Atlètic side in 2021. A ruptured ACL during the semi-final of the Copa de Campeones Juvenil de Fútbol saw him miss the entirety of the 2021–22 season. On 18 January 2023, having scored twelve goals for the club's Juvenil A team, he was named in the Barcelona senior squad for the Copa del Rey game against Ceuta the following day. He made his professional debut as Barcelona went on to beat Ceuta 5–0, coming on as a substitute for Raphinha. Since then, Alarcon played four more times for the Barcelona senior side and had been a reasonably consistent presence in Xavi’s matchday squad selections. On 29 August 2024, Alarcón signed with Portuguese club Porto and was assigned to the reserves squad Porto B in Liga Portugal 2. On 26 January 2026, Porto sent Alarcón on loan to Eredivisie club Utrecht until the end of the 2025–26 season, with an optional buy-clause of €2 million. Four months later, after scoring 3 goals in 13 Eredivisie appearances, the clause was triggered and he joined the Dutch side on a three-year contract.

Alarcón has represented Spain at youth international level.

A forward using both feet and able to play anywhere across the front line, Alarcón is known for his pace and goal-scoring ability.
