Esteban Maximiliano Andrada ( Spanish pronunciation: [esˈteβan anˈdɾaða]; born 26 January 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Segunda División club Real Zaragoza, on loan from Liga MX club Monterrey.

Club career

Lanús

Andrada came through the youth academy of Lanús and established himself in the first team during the mid-2010s. He was a squad member for the club's Copa Sudamericana triumph in 2013, serving as backup to first-choice goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín and not appearing in the competition. In 2014 he was loaned to Arsenal de Sarandí before returning to Lanús, where he became the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper. He won the Argentine Primera División title in 2016 and was runner-up in the Copa Libertadores the following year, when Lanús were defeated in the final by River Plate.[2]

Boca Juniors

On 6 August 2018, Andrada joined Boca Juniors from Lanús.[1] He was the first-choice goalkeeper in the 2018 Copa Libertadores finals, in which Boca Juniors lost to city rivals River Plate at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid—the first Copa Libertadores final held outside South America.[3] Under manager Gustavo Alfaro, he established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Argentine football. In September 2019, he set a new club record by going 864 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal in domestic league competition, surpassing a mark held by Carlos Navarro Montoya since 1992.[4] He won the Argentine Primera División with Boca Juniors in the 2019–20 season.

Monterrey

On 4 July 2021, Andrada joined Mexican club Monterrey.[1] During four seasons with the club, making over 130 Liga MX appearances.

Real Zaragoza (loan)

On 1 September 2025, Andrada joined Real Zaragoza on loan from Monterrey until the end of the 2025–26 season.[5] In a Segunda División match against SD Huesca on 26 April 2026, with Zaragoza trailing 1–0 in stoppage time, Andrada received a second yellow card and was sent off. He then approached Huesca captain Jorge Pulido and struck him in the face, triggering a confrontation involving players from both sides. Huesca goalkeeper Dani Jiménez was also shown a red card following the brawl. Andrada subsequently issued a public apology, stating he was "very, very sorry" and that it was "not a good image for the club, for the fans, and especially not for a professional", while Zaragoza announced it would take internal disciplinary measures.[6][7]

International career

Andrada represented the Argentina U20s at the 2009 Toulon Tournament,[8] 2011 South American Youth Championship,[9] and the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[10] He also represented the Argentina U22 squad at the 2011 Pan Am tournament.[11]

Andrada made his debut for the Argentina national football team on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Morocco, as a starter.[12] He was one of the three goalkeepers called up by manager Lionel Scaloni for the 2019 Copa América, but withdrew from the squad on 14 June due to a knee injury. He was replaced by Juan Musso.[13]
