The frontman has also featured in the Europa League, scoring five goals in just eight appearances for Spanish giants Espanyol.
It was Espanyol’s academy where Campuzano began to make his name before joining Real Madrid Castilla in 2016, later returning to Espanyol in 2018.
It was there he made his La Liga debut and impressed on the European stage.
More recently he represented Sporting Gijón and has also represented Spain at Under-19 level.
“I’m excited to be joining the Sky Blue family and take this beautiful challenge, Campuzano said.
“At 28, I know these are the peak years of my career, and I want to give everything I have to this club.
“My aim is to bring goals, energy and experience to help the team achieve success, and I believe Sydney FC is the perfect place for me to do that.
“I’m ready to embrace the challenge, push myself to new levels, and hopefully create unforgettable moments for our Members.”
Head Coach Ufuk Talay said Campuzano will make an immediate impact.
“Víctor is the type of player and goalscorer that our Members will love.
“He is experienced, hungry and will excite our supporters with what he can deliver.”
Barcelona-born Campuzano arrives in Sydney this week to join his new teammates for training ahead of the start of the new season in five weeks.
