Diego Aznar Valero (born 9 June 2003) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Valencia CF Mestalla, on loan from SD Huesca.

Club career[edit]

Born in Zaragoza, Aznar represented EM El Olivar, UD Amistad, Real Zaragoza and UD Montecarlo before moving to CA Osasuna on 7 July 2021.[1] In 2022, after a few weeks on trial, he signed for SD Huesca and was initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera Federación.[2]

Aznar made his senior debut on 11 September 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute for Rafa Tresaco and scoring the B's equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against CD Cuarte. In January 2023, after scoring 17 goals in 16 matches for the B-side (which included a hat-trick against Cuarte), he was nicknamed the "Aragonese Haaland".[3][4]

Aznar made his first team debut on 6 May 2023, replacing Cristian Salvador late into a 2–1 Segunda División away loss against CD Leganés.[5][6] On 19 January 2024, he was loaned to Segunda Federación side Valencia CF Mestalla until the end of the season.[7]
