Francisco Javier González Pérez, born on 24 June 2005 in León, began his football journey at the age of five. He spent twelve dedicated seasons with Cultural Leonesa, where he steadily built a reputation for his exceptional goalkeeping abilities. In 2022, he joined Real Madrid after delivering standout performances in the National League with Cultural Leonesa’s Juvenil B side. His arrival at Real Madrid Juvenil B soon attracted the attention of Luis Llopis, the first-team goalkeeping coach under Carlo Ancelotti.
In July 2023, González marked a major milestone when he was called up for the club’s preseason tour of the United States. Real Madrid later extended his contract by five years, securing his place among the four goalkeepers for the 2023/24 season. He actively contributed to both Real Madrid Juvenil A and the C team in the Tercera Federación, where he regularly started matches and earned valuable experience, including a 0–1 win away at Las Rozas.
Although not part of the senior squad, he was registered for the Champions League and traveled with the first team during their US tour. His growing promise was also recognized at the national level, earning him a call-up to Spain’s U-19 side. On 4 April 2025, González made his LaLiga debut against Valencia, in a match that ended in a 1–2 defeat. Known for his sharp reflexes, agility, and remarkable shot-stopping ability, he has drawn comparisons to his idol, Iker Casillas.
Gonzalez joined Real Madrid’s academy in 2022, stands at 1.99 meters tall, and his contract with the club runs until 2026.
