Julen Jon Guerrero Landabaso (born 14 April 2004) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Born in Bilbao, Spain, Guerrero started his career at Málaga, before joining Real Madrid in 2017. [3] [4] Despite being a midfielder, he has amassed an impressive goal tally for Los Blancos youth teams, notable scoring in eight consecutive games in the 2020/21 season. [4] [5]
Due to his father's legendary status at Athletic Bilbao, Guerrero has found himself constantly linked with the Biscay club. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] In October 2021, he was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation" list for 2021 - highlighting the best young players in the world. [11]
On 12 January 2023, Guerrero was loaned to Primera Federación side SD Amorebieta for the remainder of the season. [12] He made his senior debut ten days later, coming on as a late substitute for Rayco Rodríguez in a 3–2 away win over CD Numancia. [13]
Guerrero scored his first senior goal on 12 February 2023, netting the Azules' equalizer in a 1–1 draw at FC Barcelona Atlètic. [14] He scored a further three times for the club as they achieved promotion to Segunda División.
In July 2023, Real Madrid sent Guerrero on loan with an option-to-buy to Serie A club Roma's youth sector. [15] In January 2024, after failing to break into the first team under José Mourinho, Guerrero's loan was terminated. [16]
On 11 January 2024, after his loan spell at Roma was cancelled, Guerrero left Real Madrid and signed a contract until 2025 with Basque club Alavés, initially joining the side's B team, competing in the Segunda Federación. [17] Real Madrid reportedly kept 50% of his economic rights. [18]
On 30 August 2024, Guerrero returned to Amorebieta on loan from Alavés. [19] Back to Alavés B in January 2025, he left the club on 24 June of that year. [20]
Guerrero has represented Spain at under-15, under-16 and under-18 level. [1] His under-18 international career got off to an explosive start; having scored a hat-trick against Turkey, he followed this up with a goal against Romania. [21]
Guerrero is the son of former Spanish international footballer, and Athletic Bilbao legend, Julen Guerrero, and the nephew of José Félix Guerrero. [22]
