Leandro Lautaro Lacunza (born 21 July 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Maltese club Birkirkara.[1]

Career

Lacunza's senior career got underway with Olimpo, after he had come through the youth system of Rosario Puerto Belgrano.[3][4] Christian Díaz selected him for his debut during the 2016 Primera División, with Lacunza playing the full duration of a home draw against Banfield on 9 May.[1][5] He made another appearance a week later versus Patronato, though ended the match prematurely after eighty-one minutes due to a red card.[1] He wasn't picked in any competitive matches throughout 2016–17, but went on to feature nine times in 2017–18 as the club suffered relegation.[1][6]

On 20 November 2020, Lacunza joined Primera Nacional club Guillermo Brown.[7] Ahead of the 2022 season, he moved to fellow league club Chacarita Juniors.[8]
