Abiel Alesio Osorio (born 13 June 2002) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Velez Sarsfield.[1]

Early and personal life

The nephew of former professional footballer, Aldo Osorio, he joined Velez Sarsfield aged 13 years-old.[2] He has earned the nickname ‘El Tanque’ due to his physicality.[3]

Career

In July 2021, he signed his first professional contract with Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield, agreeing a two-year deal.[4] The following season he made his first team debut, on 6 March 2022, in the Copa de la Liga against Estudiantes.[5][6] The next month he scored his first professional goal, on his first professional start, on 8 May 2022, in a 2-1 victory against Colón.[7][8] He later extended his contract with the club until the end of 2024.[9]

International career

In August 2023, he was called-up to the Argentina national under-23 football team by coach Javier Mascherano.[10]

Style of play

Osorio has been described as having the physical strength that makes him capable of winning duels. This, combined with his good ball retention makes him a difficult striker to mark and helps him to become a reference point for his side’s attacking play.[11]
