Freddy Alejandro Guarín Vásquez (born June 30, 1986 in Puerto Boyacá) is a Colombian footballer for F.C. Porto, in the Portuguese first division.
A versatile player, comfortable in the center or right side of midfield, he represented Colombia at all youth levels.
[edit] Football career
Already a regular player for Colombian side Envigado Fútbol Club and for the Colombian U20 national team, in 2005, Guarín was taken on loan by Boca Juniors of Argentina, where he spent the first six months in the youth team, with only two league appearances. Upon completion of his loan, Boca attempted to sign Guarín on a permanent basis, but he instead chose to go on loan at France's AS Saint-Étienne, in August 2006.
Guarín made his debuts for ASSE scoring twice, in a friendly against Spain's RCD Espanyol, and gradually fought his way into the starting lineup as the season closed. He made his Ligue 1 debut on October 14, 2006 against Olympique Lyonnais, and scored is first goal in a 3-1 victory against Troyes AC.
On 24 May 2006, Guarín made his international debut for Colombia in a pre-World Cup friendly against Ecuador, but did not make the final stages.
On July 10, 2008, Guarín penned a four-year deal with Portuguese League powerhouse F.C. Porto, for an undisclosed fee. Portuguese under-21 international Paulo Machado went the opposite direction, on loan.[1]
