Alan Franco
29-Year-Old
Tigres UANL
Liga MX
Loaned to Tigres from Sao Paulo
Franco has joined Tigres on loan from Sao Paulo, with the UANL team confirming he completed medical tests Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Franco is an experienced, ball-playing center-back known for his composure building out from the back, and he made over 150 appearances across all competitions during his three years at Sao Paulo, scoring three goals while winning the Copa do Brasil in 2023 and the Supercopa do Brasil in 2024. Franco projects as a potential starter in the short term given Jesus Alberto Angulo's (knee) injury, challenging Romulo, Joaquim and Juan Jose Purata under coach Guido Pizarro's system, which leans on defenders comfortable in possession.
