Franco Pedro Augusto Baldassarra (born 29 September 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Platense.[3]
Baldassarra joined Platense from Argentinos Juniors in 2014.[1] [4] He made the breakthrough into Platense's first-team in April 2019, as he made the bench for a Primera B Nacional match with Temperley.[3] [5] His senior debut arrived in that match, with Fernando Ruiz selecting him to replace Marcelo Vega with twenty minutes left of an away draw; it was his only 2018–19 appearance.[3] Baldassarra's first match of 2019–20 saw him make his first start in a win over Barracas Central on 29 October 2019.[3] Baldassarra netted his first senior goal on 27 January 2021 versus Atlético de Rafaela in the semi-finals of the play-offs, which Platense went on to win.[6]
