Giuliano Cerato (born 10 June 1998) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Instituto.

Career

Cerato came through the youth setup at Vélez Sarsfield and signed his first professional contract on 28 June 2019.[1] A few weeks later he left for Primera B Metropolitana side UAI Urquiza on a two-year loan.[2] On 29 September he scored his first goals for the club as he netted twice in a 4–2 win over San Miguel.[3]

On 28 December 2021, he rescinded his contract with Vélez, after his loan at UAI Urquiza ended,[4] and then joined Primera Nacional club Instituto.[5][6] The following season, he held down a starting position and helped Instituto achieve promotion to the Liga Profesional.[7][8]

On 21 January 2025, he joined newly-promoted side Aldosivi on loan for a year, with an option to buy.[9] He scored against Huracán in a 2–0 on 12 October.[10] Aldosivi did not exercise the buy option and he returned to Instituto.[11] He scored his first goal since returning on 20 February 2026 in a 2–1 victory against Atlético Tucumán.[12]
