Florián Gonzalo de Jesús Monzón (born 3 January 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-forward for Tigre, on loan from Vélez Sarsfield.

Club career

Monzón signed for Vélez Sarsfield in 2015, going on to score over forty goals in their academy. Mauricio Pellegrino promoted the centre-forward into his first-team squad in 2020, as he made his senior debut on 28 October in a Copa Sudamericana second stage first leg draw at home to Peñarol; he replaced Pablo Galdames for the final moments. He went unused on the substitute's bench seven times across the next month or so, prior to making his bow domestically off the bench on 5 December in the Copa de la Liga Profesional versus Patronato. Monzón's first goal arrived on 16 January 2021 versus Rosario Central. In July 2021, Monzón joined Platense on a loan for the rest of the year. On 26 January 2022, Monzón was loaned out again, this time to Almirante Brown until the end of 2022.

International career

In 2019, Monzón received a call-up from the U18s for the COTIF Tournament in Spain. He scored once, in a five-goal victory over Bahrain, as they placed third.

Personal life

Monzón is the son of Pedro Monzón and nephew of Floreal García; both of whom were professional footballers.
