Axel Werner (born 28 February 1996) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Boca Juniors on loan from Spanish club Atlético Madrid as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Rafaela, Werner was an Atlético Rafaela youth graduate. On 10 August 2015 he made his professional debut, starting in a 5–1 routing of Deportivo Merlo, for the year's Copa Argentina.[1]

Werner made his Primera División debut on 3 October 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Arsenal.[2] In March 2016 he was chosen as a first-choice, as starter Germán Montoya was injured;[3] the latter subsequently moved to Belgrano.

On 20 August 2016, Werner signed a five-year contract with La Liga club Atlético Madrid, being immediately loaned to Boca Juniors for one season.[4]

International career

In 2013, Werner was called up to Argentina under-17s for the year's FIFA U-17 World Cup, as a backup to Augusto Batalla.[5] He appeared in only one match in the tournament, a 1–4 loss against Sweden on 8 November.[6]

On 1 July 2016, Werner was called up for the Summer Olympics in the place of Batalla, who was impeded to play by his club, River Plate.[7]
