Diego González Polanco (born 28 January 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central defender for Sevilla Atlético.

Club career

Born in Chiclana de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, Andalusia, González joined Cádiz CF's youth setup in 2012, from EF Sancti Petri.[1] After starting out as a senior with the former's reserves in Tercera División, he made his first-team debut on 11 November 2012, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against Albacete Balompié.[2]

In 2013, González had unsuccessful trials at Liverpool[3] and A.S. Roma, being also strongly linked to Real Madrid. On 20 December 2014 he signed a new four-year deal at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza, running until 2018.[4]

On 20 January 2015, González joined another reserve team, Granada CF B on loan until June.[5] On 22 July he signed a two-year contract with Sevilla Atlético, for a fee of €200,000.[6]

González first appeared with Sevilla's main squad on 2 December 2015, starting in a 3–0 away win over UD Logroñés for the season's Copa del Rey.[7] The following 8 May, as manager Unai Emery made changes ahead of two cup finals, he made his La Liga debut as a substitute and scored a back-heeled equaliser with his first touch in a 1–4 loss to neighbours Granada CF, at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.[8]
