Germán Parreño Boix (born 16 February 1993), known simply as Germán, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Deportivo de La Coruña.
Born in Elche, Alicante, Valencian Community, Germán joined RCD Espanyol's youth setup in 2007 from local Elche CF, aged 14. He made his senior debut with the B team in the Tercera División.[1]
On 26 August 2013, Germán signed a new four-year deal with the Catalans, being also promoted to the main squad.[2] On 8 December he played his first game as a professional, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Real Jaén in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey (eventual 4–2 aggregate win).[3]
Germán first appeared in La Liga on 6 April 2014, taking the place of suspended Kiko Casilla in a 4–1 loss at Sevilla FC.[4] In January 2015, after losing his backup position to another youth graduate, Pau López, he was loaned to Segunda División club Racing de Santander until June.[5]
On 18 August 2015, Germán moved to Girona FC of the same league in a season-long loan deal.[6] He played understudy to Isaac Becerra during his spell, and terminated his contract with Espanyol on 5 August 2016.[7]
On 6 August 2016, Germán returned to his first club Elche.[8] The following summer, he signed for UCAM Murcia CF in the Segunda División B.[9] Two years later, he joined fellow third-tier UD Ibiza, agreeing to a contract until 30 June 2020 with the option for an additional season.[10]
On 1 July 2023, after suffering second-division relegation, Germán signed a two-year deal with Deportivo de La Coruña in the Primera Federación.[11]
