Diego González Polanco (born 28 January 1995) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a central defender for Sevilla Atlético.
Club career
Born in Chiclana de la Frontera, Province of Cádiz, Andalusia, González joined Cádiz CF's youth setup in 2012, from EF Sancti Petri. After starting out as a senior with the former's reserves in Tercera División, he made his first-team debut on 11 November 2012, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against Albacete Balompié.
In 2013, González had unsuccessful trials at Liverpool and A.S. Roma, being also strongly linked to Real Madrid. On 20 December 2014 he signed a new four-year deal at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza, running until 2018.
On 20 January 2015, González joined another reserve team, Granada CF B on loan until June. On 22 July he signed a two-year contract with Sevilla Atlético, for a fee of €200,000.
González first appeared with Sevilla's main squad on 2 December 2015, starting in a 3–0 away win over UD Logroñés for the season's Copa del Rey. The following 8 May, as manager Unai Emery made changes ahead of two cup finals, he made his La Liga debut as a substitute and scored a back-heeled equaliser with his first touch in a 1–4 loss to neighbours Granada CF, at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium.
