Joaquín Blázquez (born 28 January 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Talleres.[3]
Club career
[edit]Blázquez was spotted by Talleres scouts in 2013, as he soon joined the Córdoba club.[4] In November 2017, having just signed his first professional contract at the age of sixteen, Blázquez had a week's trial at Premier League outfit Liverpool.[4][5] Months after trialling in England, Blázquez made three appearances at the 2018 U-20 Copa Libertadores for Talleres.[3] In February 2019, Blázquez completed a loan move to Spain with Valencia B of Segunda División B.[6] He mainly featured for their youth in the División de Honor Juvenil and UEFA Youth League, appearing four times in the latter, but did make the B-team's bench four times.[3][7]
Despite signing for eighteen months and with a purchase option, Blázquez departed Valencia B at the beginning of 2020 after they declined to sign him.[8][9] He soon made the substitute's bench for Talleres' matches in the Primera División against Huracán and Patronato in February and March.[3] Blázquez made his senior debut on 19 December in a Copa de la Liga Profesional home draw versus Atlético Tucumán, after replacing an injured Marcos Díaz after just sixteen minutes; back-up goalkeeper Mauricio Caranta had already been ruled out due to injury.[3][10][11]
On 27 July 2022, Blázquez joined Brest in France on loan, with an option to buy.[12]
International career
[edit]Blázquez represented Argentina at U18, U20 and U23 level.[3] For the U18s, he featured at the 2019 COTIF Tournament in Spain.[13] For the U20s, Blázquez was on the bench for his country's four matches at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.[3][14] For the U23s, he went unused for seven games as Argentina won the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Colombia.[3] In November 2018, Blázquez trained against the senior squad ahead of their friendlies with Mexico.[15][16]
