Francisco Portillo Soler (born 13 June 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Real Oviedo.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Portillo emerged through local club Málaga CF's youth ranks. He first appeared with the first team in the 2009 pre-season, being considered player of the match in the 1–0 win against Aston Villa in the Peace Cup on 25 July.[2]

Portillo made his La Liga debut on 24 January 2010, replacing the injured Patrick Mtiliga in the 74th minute of a 2–0 loss at Real Madrid.[3] On 10 August, he agreed to an extension running until June 2013.[4]

After the 2011 summer signing of Joaquín, Portillo was further demoted down in Málaga's pecking order, not making the 18-men squad in most of the matches.[5] His first league appearance of the season only came on 9 April 2012, as he played the last eight minutes in a 3−0 home victory over Racing de Santander.[6]

On 15 September 2012, Portillo scored his first goal as a professional, with a beautiful volley in a 3−1 home defeat of Levante UD.[7] He appeared in 38 competitive games during the campaign, including eight in the side's first-ever participation in the UEFA Champions League.[8]

On 15 January 2015, Portillo was loaned to Segunda División's Real Betis until June,[9] with an obligatory buyout clause if the team was promoted.[10] Having contributed 21 appearances in the season, he signed a permanent three-year deal.[11]

Portillo was loaned to Getafe CF of the second tier on 31 August 2016, for one year.[12] After achieving promotion, he was bought outright on 3 July 2017.[13]

On 22 July 2021, free agent Portillo signed a two-year contract with UD Almería in the second division.[14] Regularly used during his spell (and achieving promotion in his first season), he left on 14 June 2023 as his link was about to expire.[15]

On 20 September 2023, Portillo joined second-tier CD Leganés on a one-year deal.[16] He earned another promotion at the end of the campaign, becoming the first player to achieve this with four clubs in the process; Antonio Fernández had already done the same in the 60s/70s, but only in service of CD Málaga.[17][18]

On 12 November 2024, free agent Portillo joined second-tier Oviedo on a deal until the end of the season.[19]
