Franco Damian Vazquez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfɾaŋko ðaˈmjam ˈbaskes]; born 22 February 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Serie B club Parma and the Argentina national team.

Beginning his career with Argentine club Belgrano in 2007, Vazquez moved to Italian side Palermo in 2011. After a brief loan spell in Spain with Rayo Vallecano during the 2012–13 season, he made his breakthrough with the Sicilian club, earning a transfer to La Liga side Sevilla in 2016.

Club Career

Belgrano

Nicknamed "El Mudo" ("The Mute") due to his introversion in his youth, Vazquez began his career at Argentine club Belgrano, with whom he debuted in 2007 and then became a mainstay at the club, achieving interest from a number of Italian clubs (the first being Parma in 2010) as a consequence.
