"We will continue to build and add quality players that are the right fit for our Club. We started with youth, but we know it's also important to have veteran players who come from both overseas and within the league to balance out the roster over time."

Carranza, another U17 player for La Albiceleste, is a forward at Club Atletico Banfield, where he has scored 10 goals across 30 matches for the club.
