Alejandro "Álex" Millán Iranzo (born 7 November 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Portuguese club SC Farense.
Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Millán joined Real Zaragoza's youth setup in 2009, aged nine.[1] In July 2016, he moved to Villarreal CF for a fee of €350,000, signing a contract until 2020.[2]
On 27 August 2017, while still a youth, Millán made his senior debut with the C-team, coming on as a late substitute for Andrei Rațiu in a 0–0 Tercera División away draw against Crevillente Deportivo.[3] He was definitely promoted to the C-side ahead of the 2018–19 campaign, and scored his first senior goals on 12 October 2018, netting a hat-trick in a 4–2 home win against CD Acero.[4]
Millán was promoted to the reserves in 2019, in Segunda División B. He made his first team debut on 16 December of the following year; after replacing Dani Raba in the 78th minute, he scored his team's fifth in a 6–0 away routing of SD Leioa, for the season's Copa del Rey.[5]
Millán made his La Liga debut on 19 December 2020, replacing fellow youth graduate Gerard Moreno in a 3–1 away success over CA Osasuna.[6] The following 13 August, he moved abroad and joined Belgian First Division A club Cercle Brugge KSV on loan for one year.[7] Following the signing of fellow striker Silvère Ganvoula in January 2022, his loan was taken over by league leaders Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on 28 January.[8]
On 8 July 2022, Millán was loaned to Famalicão in Portugal for the 2022–23 season.[9] The following 7 January, his loan was terminated, and he returned to the B-team in Segunda División.[10]
On 27 June 2023, Millán signed a two-year contract with fellow second division side Real Oviedo,[11] but suffered a knee injury in the pre-season which led him to miss most part of the season.[12] On 20 August of the following year, he returned to the Portuguese top tier after signing a two-year deal with SC Farense.[13]
