Júnior Alonso is a rugged, physical centre-back who has become a key figure at Atlético Mineiro since joining in 2020, winning the Brasileirão and featuring regularly in Copa Libertadores campaigns. His earlier career took him to Lille and Boca Juniors, giving him European and Argentine top-flight experience before he found his best form in Brazil. A loan to FC Krasnodar in 2023 was a brief detour, but he returned to Atlético-MG as a reliable starter. Alongside Gustavo Gómez, he forms a physically imposing central defensive partnership for Paraguay with considerable club pedigree.
