Franco Armani

Franco Armani is the kind of goalkeeper I have enormous respect for, a late bloomer who earned everything the hard way. Captaining River Plate and being part of Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning squad before returning to Atlético Nacional in 2026 is a career most keepers can only dream of, and he reached it without the early hype that surrounds many top names. At 189 cm and born in 1986, he's the steady, commanding presence I want behind a back line. There's something deeply satisfying about a goalkeeper who peaks in his thirties, because the position rewards patience and reading the game more than raw athleticism. A true club legend in Buenos Aires.
