Néstor Fernando Muslera Micol (Spanish:[feɾˈnandomusˈleɾa]; born 16 June 1986) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Süper Lig club Galatasaray, which he captains.
Muslera began his career at Montevideo Wanderers and Nacional, moving to Lazio in 2007 where he won the 2009 Coppa Italia Final. In 2011, he was signed by Galatasaray for a fee of around €12 million, where he has since won honours which include six Süper Lig titles, four Turkish Cups and six Turkish Super Cups.
A full international since 2009, Muslera has earned over 130 caps for Uruguay. He has played in five Copa América tournaments, winning the title in 2011, and played every minute in goal for Uruguay as the country's undisputed number one in the 2010, 2014, and 2018 FIFA World Cups, helping his nation to fourth place in the 2010 edition.
