Leandro Daniel Paredes (Spanish pronunciation: [leˈandɾo paˈɾeðes]; born 29 June 1994) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Serie A club Juventus, on loan from Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, and the Argentina national team.
Club career
Boca Juniors
Paredes made his league debut for Boca Juniors in a 2–0 away defeat to Argentinos Juniors on 6 November 2010. On 29 January 2014, he joined Italian Serie A outfit Chievo Verona for the rest of the 2013–14 season.[2]
Roma
It was revealed that Roma agreed to sign Paredes from Boca Juniors on loan with a reported €4.5 million pre-set price, however Roma ran out of non-EU registration quota for international transfer. He was signed by Chievo instead.[3]
On 19 July 2014, Paredes joined Roma in a temporary deal, with an option to buy outright from Boca Juniors.[4] On 27 September 2014, Paredes made his Roma debut, as a second-half substitute in the 2–0 win against Hellas Verona.[5] On 8 February 2015, Paredes scored his first Roma goal in the club's 2–1 victory against Cagliari.[6] In June 2015, Roma signed Paredes for €6.067 million.[7]
Zenit Saint Petersburg
On 1 July 2017, Zenit announced the signing of Paredes on a four-year contract. The fee was €23 million with a possible €4 million in add-ons.[8][9]
Paris Saint-Germain
On 29 January 2019, Paris Saint-Germain announced the signing of Paredes on a four and-a-half year contract,[10] for an initial €40 million, potentially rising to €47 million.[11][12] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 victory against Pau in the Coupe de France on 29 January 2020, exactly a year after signing for PSG, while wearing the captain's armband.[13]
On 10 April 2021, Paredes scored his first Ligue 1 goal, a free-kick in a 4–1 win over Strasbourg.[14]
Loan to Juventus
On 31 August 2022, Paredes joined Serie A club Juventus on a season-long loan with an option-to-buy.[15]
International career
On 19 May 2017, Paredes received his first senior call-up by newly appointed coach Jorge Sampaoli for Argentina's friendlies against Brazil and Singapore in June.[16] He made his senior international debut in the match against Singapore on 13 June, helping Argentina to a 6–0 away win, and also marked his debut by scoring his first international goal.[17]
In May 2018, he was named in Argentina’s preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia[18] but did not make the final 23.[19] On 21 May 2019, Paredes was included in Lionel Scaloni's final 23-man Argentina squad for the 2019 Copa América.[20] Following Argentina's third-place achievement, Paredes was listed among the "Best XI" team of the tournament.[21]
In June 2021, he was included in Lionel Scaloni's final Argentina 28-man squad for the 2021 Copa América.[22] In the semi-finals of the competition, Argentina played against Colombia and the match eventually went into a penalty-shootout during which Paredes successfully converted his spot-kick to help Argentina progress to the final.[23]
Personal life
Paredes is of Paraguayan descent through his mother.[24] On 2 September 2020, it was reported that Paredes, along with PSG teammates Neymar and Ángel Di María, tested positive for COVID-19. The French sports newspaper L'Équipe said that the three players reportedly went on vacation in Ibiza. As a result, they quarantined for one week, and the rest of the players and working staff took coronavirus tests within the same week.[25][26]
