Club career
Born in Villarrica, Paraguay, he started his career in Nacional Asunción youth set-up aged 16. However, in the 2013 summer González joined Chilean club Magallanes of the second-tier.[1] At the Carabeleros he was two-times Primera B goalscorer with twelve goals (2013-14 and 2014-15).
In 2015, he joined Chilean first-tier club Santiago Wanderers to replace Roberto Gutiérrez (team’s goalscorer the last season) who left the Valparaíso-based side for powerhouse Universidad Católica.[2] After an irregular start only playing 10 games and not scoring goals, he scored his first in a 2015 Copa Chile match against San Luis Quillota netting the game’s first goal in a 1–1 draw.[3]
International career
On 2 March 2019, González received a call-up to the Paraguay national team from Eduardo Berizzo ahead of that month's friendlies with Peru and Mexico.[4] He made his debut for Paraguay on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Mexico, as a starter.[5]
