In a few months,  Aimar Goñi  changed from the status of  young Spanish hope  to that of a true revelation of world padel. At only 20 years old, the Navarrese player is already impressing the best thanks to his  explosive style  his offensive power and his remarkable performances on the circuit Premier PadelNow included in the preliminary squad for the Spanish national team, the left-footed player confirms a  meteoric rise  which could quickly change its dimension. 

The left-back was still unknown to the general public less than two years ago. Today, the player born in  Pamplona  in 2005 and is among the most watched players on the world circuit.

The Navarrese player is having a particularly impressive 2026 season. His performances at  Brussels  or again  Assumption  quickly attracted the attention of Spanish observers. So much so that a few days ago, the Spanish daily newspaper  BRAND  He was dubbed the revelation of the year.

This progress is also reflected in the FIP rankings. Now established in the  Top 50 worldwide Aimar Goñi continues to climb thanks to increasingly consistent results against pairs more experienced than him.

Before its explosion on Premier PadelThe Spanish left-hander had notably played for the  circuit A1 Padel , a choice he himself justified by the very high costs of the main circuit for young players. An important step in his development that allowed him to gain experience.

 A magic inspired by Arturo Coello 

If Aimar Goñi attracts so much attention, it's thanks to a  particularly spectacular style of play .

Tall, powerful, and aggressive in attack, Goñi quickly made a name for himself with the quality of his  Smash  and its ability to  accelerate trade His profile is reminiscent of Arturo Coello's.

This comparison is far from trivial, since Goñi himself acknowledges  watch the world number one closely  :

"I try to learn from his matches, to identify his weaknesses when I face him and to apply techniques that could help me, but it's very difficult."

But beyond the spectacle he offers, Goni impresses with his  increasing maturity  in the big games. Sometimes considered too flashy a player, he is now starting to win in  regularity  and in tactical management.

Which is why he should be considered a  real gem  in the making.  

 A credible candidate for the Spanish national team 

His presence in the preliminary list of the Spanish national team confirms this. change of status .

In the heart of one of the world's most abundant countries in j brilliant eyes The competition is fierce. His mere presence in the discussion already represents a form of recognition.

But according to the coach  Juanjo Gutiérrez Ranking is not the only criterion observed. When he was a guest on the show Desde dentro del pádel, he emphasized the importance of the  shape of the moment  during the final choice. A rather positive assessment for players with good momentum like the young Spanish talent.

With an 8th place loss against the world's top pair at P1  Buenos Aires , a semi-final at P2 of  Assumption , and a quarter-final to that of  Brussels His recent performances have allowed him to attract the attention of the public, but also that of  Sanyo Gutiérrez .

He mentioned his name as a possible option for La Roja, statements that are certainly welcome to hear. Aimar Goñi, for his part, wants to continue working even harder to transform this  dream in reality. 

At only 20 years old, ranked 43rd in the world, Aimar Goñi still seems far from having reached his full potential.

His explosiveness and extremely rapid progress already make him one of the most closely watched players in Spanish padel. But as we know, the competition is very fierce in Spain.
