Antonio Portales

Antonio Portales

Antonio Portales was born in Tampico, Mexico on 16 May 1996 (age 30).

Antonio Portales is a Mexican central defender, born on 16 May 1996 (age 30), who plays for Oaxaca. He is an established professional rather than a name that needs dressing up, with his value placed at around £765,000 by Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came with Atlante in 2022–23, when he scored nine goals in 45 appearances. That is a notable return for a centre-half, and suggests a defender who could contribute at set pieces as well as handle the basic work of the position.

Portales is now with Oaxaca, continuing his career in Mexico. His profile is straightforward: a senior Mexican centre-back with a solid body of domestic experience and one unusually productive scoring season at Atlante.

Portales' recent career has moved through Monterrey, Oaxaca, Atlante and Dundee before his release in 2025. The available career log records goals across several seasons but no appearance totals, which limits any firm read on durability or week-to-week importance. The trajectory suggests a player who moved from Mexico into Scottish football, but is now at a reset point.

The transfer record is pragmatic rather than fee-driven. Portales first went from Monterrey to Oaxaca on loan, then made an undisclosed permanent move, followed by another undisclosed switch to Atlante. Dundee picked him up on a free transfer in 2023, and his 2025 release leaves him available without a fee.
