Hugo Lorenzo Quintana Escobar (born 10 November 2001) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Olimpia.

Club career

Born in Asunción, Quintana joined Olimpia's youth setup at the age of 14.[1] He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 29 April 2018, starting in a 3–0 home win over Sportivo Luqueño.[2]

Quintana scored his first professional goal on 15 October 2018, netting his team's second in a 5–0 away routing of Deportivo Santaní.[3] At the end of the season, he was elected as the Breakthrough Player.[4]

In January 2020, Quintana moved on loan to 12 de Octubre, but only played one match before leaving to Palmeiras, where he was assigned to the under-20 team.[5] He left the club in February 2021, after being rarely used.[6]

Upon returning, Quintana was assigned back to Olimpia's first team, but suffered a knee injury in August 2022 which sidelined him for the remainder of the season.[7]
