Alejo Gastón Montero (born 5 May 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Agropecuario.[2]
Montero started his career with Vélez Sarsfield, having joined them in February 2009.[3] Gabriel Heinze promoted the midfielder into the club's senior squad during 2018–19, initially selecting him as an unused substitute for a fixture with River Plate on 3 February 2019.[2] A 1–1 draw with Huracán on 8 February saw Montero make his professional debut, coming off the bench in stoppage time in place of Leandro Fernández.[2] [4]
In July 2019, Montero left Vélez to join Primera B Nacional's Agropecuario on a free transfer.[5] Vélez denied the latter, saying they had agreed a new contract with the player.[3] However, Montero claimed that they had broken AFA rules which allowed him to depart.[3] Montero filed a recurso de amparo court complaint for freedom of action which was initially denied, though the case would subsequently be won by him via an appeal; the AFA declared him a free player on 12 September, which Vélez appealed themselves.[3] A month later, in October, Montero scored his first senior goal in a 1–1 draw with Independiente Rivadavia.[2]
