Santiago Ezequiel Vera (born 12 December 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Paraguayan Primera División club Olimpia.[2]
Vera's career began in the ranks of Almirante Brown, who sold him to River Plate in 2015.[3] [4] Marcelo Gallardo promoted Vera to the club's senior squad for an Argentine Primera División match with San Martín on 17 September 2017, with the midfielder subsequently making his professional debut after being substituted on for Carlos Auzqui with eighteen minutes remaining.[2] [5] Following a further appearance versus Tigre in 2018–19, Vera terminated his contract in August 2019 in order to join Olimpia of the Paraguayan Primera División.[6] [7] He made five appearances off the bench, tallying ninety-nine minutes, in the 2019 campaign.[2]
In January 2020, Vera was loaned to fellow Paraguayan Primera División team San Lorenzo.[2] His first appearance arrived in February versus Nacional, which preceded the right midfielder scoring his first senior goal on 8 March against newly-promoted Guaireña.[8]
In September 2018, Vera was selected to train with the Argentina U17s.[9]
