Jhojan Esmaides Julio Palacios (born 11 February 1998) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays for LDU Quito. Mainly an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a winger.

Club career[edit]

LDU Quito[edit]

Born in Quito, Julio joined LDU Quito's youth setup in September 2010, aged 12.[2] After impressing with the under-18 squad, he made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 25 June 2016, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Universidad Católica del Ecuador.

Julio scored his first senior goals on 22 October 2017, netting a brace in a 5–2 home success over Delfín. He established himself as a regular starter from the 2018 season onwards, and renewed his contract until 2022 on 4 April of that year.[3]

On 14 September 2020, Julio further extended his contract with LDU until 2024.[4] In September 2021, he was suspended for two months after an altercation with Emelec players during a match between both clubs,[5] but the ban was later reduced to two matches on 1 October.[6]

Loan to Santos[edit]

On 30 March 2022, LDU announced the transfer of Julio to Brazilian club Santos on a 14-month loan deal, with a buyout clause.[7] Santos officially announced the move the following day.[8]

Julio made his debut for Peixe on 9 April 2022, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Fluminense.[9] On 17 December, Santos announced that his loan was cut short.[10]

International career[edit]

On 12 March 2019, Julio was called up by manager Jorge Célico to the Ecuador national team for friendlies against United States and Honduras.[11] He made his full international debut nine days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Renato Ibarra in a 0–1 loss against the former at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida.[12]

In December 2019, Julio was called up to the under-23 team for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament,[13] but had to withdraw due to an injury.[14]

Personal life[edit]

Julio's half-brothers Anderson and Madison are also footballers. Both play as a winger.[15]
