Cremonese and Franco Vazquez forward together
Nine years after his last appearance in the Italian Serie A, wearing the Palermo jersey, Franco Vazquez will return to the fields of the Italian top league and will do so again with Cremonese, the club with which he played the last two seasons. The 36-year-old Italian-Argentine was among the protagonists of the grigiorossi’s promotion via playoffs in the year just gone.
The former national team member of both Italy and Argentina (two appearances with the Azzurri in 2015, three with the Albiceleste in 2018) has signed a new agreement with Cremonese, which will be valid for one season and thus expire on June 30, 2026. With the grigiorossi, “El Mudo” scored 14 goals in 74 games between Serie B and Coppa Italia, 9 in 33 appearances in 2024-2025.
Next will be Franco Vazquez’s nineteenth season as a professional: after his debuts in Argentina, at Belgrano, where he played from 2007 to January 2012, he moved to Palermo, then in the A league, before going in the summer of 2012 on loan to Rayo Vallecano and returning to the Rosanero in 2022 to experience a second stint in Sicily, lasting this time for three seasons.
From 2016 to 2021 he was then part of the Sevilla squad, winning the 2019-2020 Europa League. He then returned to Italy in the summer of 2021, playing first two seasons at Parma and then two more at Cremonese, reaching the playoffs in both years and winning the final match against Spezia on June 1 that sealed the grigiorossi’s return to Serie A.
The team was also a member of the team’s team.
