Gonzalo Luján Melli (born 27 April 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defender in the Argentine Primera División for San Lorenzo de Almagro.[1]
Career
[edit]Luján came through the San Lorenzo youth teams. He made his debut in the first team on 26 May 2021 against Chilean side Huachipato FC in the Copa Sudamericana. Later that season, after a succession of substitute appearances, he made his first league start against Newells Old Boys. Luján signed a new contract with the club in December 2021, agreeing to a one-year deal.[2] In March 2022, Luján renewed his contract with the club, signing on until December 2024. The new contract came just 92 days after the previous deal, and came after negative feedback from the fans that the club had only agreed a one-year deal, initially.[3]
International career
[edit]In November 2023, Luján was called up to the Argentina national under-23 football team by coach Javier Mascherano.[4][5] In June 2024, he was named in the provisional Argentina squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics.[6]
