Franco Anthony Medina Soto (born 18 July 1999) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a right back for Peruvian Primera División side Alianza Lima.

Club career

Alianza Lima

Medina is a product of Alianza Lima. In June 2018, Medina signed his first professional contract with Alianza Lima after an impressive season with the club's reserve team.[2] However, he wasn't used on the first team yet and therefore, he was loaned out to César Vallejo for the 2019 season, to gain some experience.[3] Medina became a regular player for César Vallejo, playing 19 games in the Peruvian Primera División.

In the beginning of 2020, he suffered from a dislocated shoulder after a game for the U-23 national team and was set to be out for several months.[4]

International career

In May 2019, Medina was called up for the Peruvian U23 national team who was going to play the 2019 Pan American Games.[5] He was later also called up for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[4]
