Ferrari


The Uruguay international drives the finest pair of wheels to be crafted. Pictured driving to PSG's training facility in his Ferrari, the centre-forward sure does dig a sip of mate!

Born in Salto, Uruguay, he moved to Montevideo to join FC Danubio’s youth system as a thirteen year old. In 2005 he got his opportunity with the first-team and impressed in the 2007 South American Youth Championship. Soon scouts from Europe were interested in him, and on 29 January 2007 he signed for Italian Serie A club SSD Palermo. He would be quick to make an impression, scoring within 15 minutes of his debut to draw Palermo level against Fiorentina. The striker netted 37 goals in 117 appearances for Palermo, establishing himself as one of the hottest prospects in Europe. In July 2010, fellow Serie A club SSC Napoli signed the Uruguayan for a fee of €17 million. He was off to a blistering start again, scoring twice in his full debut, to give Napoli a 2-0 victory over Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League. In his second season he powered Gli Azzurri to the Coppa Italia final, and scored in a 2-0 victory over Juventus to win Napoli the trophy. In his final season at the club he finished as the top scorer in Serie A with 29 goals. El Matador had taken Italy by storm during his years at Naples, scoring 104 goals in 138 games. On 16 July 2013, PSG shelled out €63 million to secure the services of Europe’s top target man. Since then, in his appearances for Les Parisiens, El Matador has scored more than 200 goals and provided numerous assists. Playing a pivotal role in PSG’s domestic dominance, with the club claiming multiple Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue titles.
