Club career

Born in Ybycuí, Franco joined Libertad's youth setup after being spotted at Football Dreams.[1] Promoted to the main squad for the 2018 season, he made his professional – and Primera División – debut for Libertad on 2 February of that year, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Sportivo Luqueño.[2] Franco scored his first professional goal on 4 March, netting his team's second in a 4–1 away routing of 3 de Febrero.[3][2] Nine days later, he made his Copa Libertadores debut by starting in a 2–0 away win against Atlético Tucumán.[4][2] On November 4 Franco scored in the 90+1st minute to give Gumarelo a 2–1 win vs Club Nacional.[2] Franco finished the season with 33 appearances and 7 goals across the Primera División Apertura and Clausura seasons, with Libertad finishing 3rd in both.[2][5] He contributed with five appearances in Copa Libertadores, as his side were knocked out by eventual runners up Boca Juniors in the round of 16.[6][7] Franco also made an appearance in the first ever edition of the Copa Paraguay.[8]

On 9 March 2019, Franco scored his first and second goals of the 2019 season, giving Libertad a 2–2 draw with Sportivo Luqueño.[9] On 19 October, he scored a minute into stoppage time to rescue a 1–0 win over Sol de América.[9] Franco ended the Primera División season with 11 goals and 5 assists in 37 appearances across both halves, with Libertad finishing 3rd in the Apertura and 2nd in the Clausura.[9][10] He helped Gumarelo win the 2019 Copa Paraguay, making 4 appearances and scoring 3 goals during the tournament.[11][12][13][14]

Franco scored his first goal of the 2020 season on 7 March, helping Libertad to a 5–1 win over Club General Díaz.[15] Three days later he scored his first career Copa Libertadores goal to give Libertad a 3–2 win against Caracas.[15] On 18 March 2020, Franco signed a contract extension with Libertad until 2025.[16] He ended the season with 1 goals and 1 assist in 22 Primera División appearances (including an appearance in the Clausura playoffs), plus 3 appearances and 1 goal in Copa Libertadores.[15]

Franco helped Libertad to the 2021 Apertura title, making 10 appearances and recording an assist.[17][18] They were unable to repeat as champs in the Clausura season, finishing 4th with Franco scoring once in 9 games.[17] He made 4 appearances and had 2 assists in Copa Libertadores, as well as 9 appearances and an assist in Copa Sudamericana, helping Libertad reach the semifinals where they lost 5–1 on aggregate to Red Bull Bragantino.[17] On 14 November, Franco injured his knee in a Copa Paraguay match vs Olimpia, ending his season.[19]

After 2 arthroscopic surgeries to repair his meniscus, Franco made his return to the pitch on 30 April 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 win vs General Caballero JLM.[19][20] Franco had 8 appearances and 2 assists in the Apertura, helping Libertad win the title.[20][21] He finished the Clausura with 2 assists in 14 games as Libertad finished 4th.[20][21] Franco also made 4 appearances and had an assist in Copa Libertadores and played twice in Copa Paraguay.[20][22][23] Following the 2022 season, Franco asked the club for a transfer, hoping a change in scenery would help him find his form.[24]

On 7 January 2023, it was announced that Franco would join Major League Soccer side Houston Dynamo on loan for their 2023 season.[25] He made his Dynamo debut on 25 February, getting the start in a 2–1 loss to FC CIncinnati in the opening match of the season.[26]
