Julián Cuesta Díaz (born 28 March 1991), known simply as Julián, is a Spanish footballer who plays for Polish club Wisła Kraków as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Sevilla

Julián was born in Campotéjar, Granada, Andalusia.[1] He played youth football with Sevilla FC, spending several of his first seasons as a senior with the reserves, in Segunda División B.

On 26 January 2013, as both players who split first-choice status in the first team, Diego López and Andrés Palop, were unavailable (the former had been sold to Real Madrid shortly before, the latter was injured), Julián was promoted to the main squad.[2] He made his La Liga debut two days later, keeping a cleansheet in a 3–0 home win against Granada CF.[3]

Almería

On 21 January 2014, Julián was loaned to fellow league side UD Almería until the end of the campaign.[4] He signed on a permanent basis on 13 June, after agreeing to a three-year deal.[5]

Julián made his debut for the Rojiblancos on 5 December 2014, starting in a 4–3 away win against Real Betis for the Copa del Rey.[6] After starter Rubén went down with an injury, he became first-choice, notably saving a penalty kick in a 1–0 success at Celta de Vigo.[7]

Wisła Kraków

On 22 June 2017, Julián signed a one-year contract with Polish Ekstraklasa club Wisła Kraków.[8]
