Giuliano Galoppo (born 18 June 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Major League Soccer club Atlanta United, on loan from Argentine Primera División club River Plate.
Club career Banfield
Galoppo joined Boca Juniors' youth ranks in 2014, after playing for Atlético de Rafaela. He had previously trained with clubs in Italy due to his father playing in the country. In 2016, Galoppo joined Banfield.
Galoppo was promoted to the club's first-team during the 2017–18 Primera División season, subsequently being an unused substitute on six occasions across Primera División, Copa Argentina and Copa Sudamericana matches before making his bow. In November 2018, he made his professional debut during a Primera División draw away to Racing Club; Julio César Falcioni substituted him on after seventy-eight minutes for Luciano Gómez.
Galoppo's first start came in the succeeding March against Defensa y Justicia, which preceded him featuring four times off the bench in 2019–20. He scored his first league goal against River Plate on 4 November 2020, scoring in the 37th minute.
Galoppo then scored five goals in twelve appearances, one in each of the club's five away games, in the 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional as they reached the final; where they'd lose out to his ex-club Boca Juniors. During the subsequent 2021 edition, the midfielder scored on matchday one at home to Racing Club before netting a brace on matchday two away against Arsenal de Sarandí.
São Paulo On 26 July 2022, Galoppo joined Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club São Paulo, signing a contract until June 2027. He made his league debut against Athletico Paranaense on 31 July, and scored his first league goal against Goiás on 13 November.
Galoppo started the 2023 season by scoring in a regular basis, before suffering a knee injury in March of that year; despite his injury, he finished the 2023 Campeonato Paulista as a top scorer alongside Róger Guedes. He spent eight months sidelined, missing the remainder of the year.
Galoppo also struggled with injuries during the 2024 campaign, also having limited playing time under head coach Luis Zubeldía.
Loan to River Plate On 3 January 2025, Galoppo joined River Plate on loan until the end of the year.
Loan to Atlanta United On September 2nd, 2026, Galoppo joined Atlanta United on loan until the end of the 2027 sprint season. Atlanta holds an option for a Permanent Transfer.
International career In February 2018, Galoppo was selected to train with the Argentina U19s.
Personal life Galoppo is the son of former professional footballer Marcelino Galoppo.
