Francisco Baridó

Francisco Martín Baridó (born 31 December 2007) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a midfielder for the under-20 team (Campionato Primavera 2) of Serie A club Napoli.

Born in the city of Adrogué, Baridó began his career playing for Central Marmól in futsal, at just five years old. His insinuating dribbles ended up catching the attention of Boca Juniors, the team where he did most of his training as a youngster. Besieged by European teams such as Spanish club Barcelona, he remained with the Xeneize team until January 2024, when he signed for Italian club Juventus on a free transfer, since his parents emigrated to Italy via acquired citizenship and emancipated him (patria potestad).

On 1 September 2025, he moved to the youth academy of fellow Serie A club Napoli, ahead of the 2025–26 season.

Baridó received his first call-up with Napoli for the 2–0 win Supercoppa Italiana semi-final match against AC Milan on 18 December 2025, as an unused substitute. Four days later he was called-up again for the final, which Napoli won 2–0 against Bologna on 22 December, but did not play.

Born in Argentina, Baridó is of Croatian descent through his mother. He represented the Argentine youth teams that competed in the 2023 South American U-15 Championship (held in October 2024), and in the 2025 South American U-17 Championship.
