The Uruguayan forward Sebastian Abreu moved to another club to complete his 28th transfer in his long career. Abreu is the newest signing of the Brazilian team Bangu. The exact number of the clubs, he has played for, is 23! The number is lower than the transfers, because Sebastian Abreu has returned to the clubs he has already played for.
However, if we start to write all the clubs we are going to run out of paper, so we will mention several of the most famous teams Abreu has played for. He started his career at Defensor 21 years ago. In 1998, he signed a 6-year contract with Deportivo La Coruna, but only appeared on 15 occasions in La Liga. When he was at La Coruna, Abreu was sent on loan 7 times – and all the times to different teams! After his unsuccessful spell at La Coruna, Abreu tried his luck at Nacional (Uruguay).
The striker has also been in the squads of River Plate, Real Sociedad and Botafogo. His biggest achievements in his club career are winning the Argentine Primera Division in 2001 with San Lorenzo and in 2008 with River Plate, winning the Uruguayan Primera Division with Nacional and Campeonato Carioca with Botafogo in 2010.
To continue with, maybe the reason for the frequency of switching teams is hidden in Abreu’s unsuccessful period at Deportivo, when he was sent on loan on several occasions. But, the striker was really good on the pitch and he has scored more than 300 goals at his clubs in total. Moreover, Sebastian Abreu has found the net on 26 occasions in 70 matches for the Uruguayan national team.
He was a part of the national team from 1996 until 2012, taking part in 3 Copa America tournaments (1997, 2007 and 2011) and 2 World Cups (2002 and 2010). So, even though he is switching teams really fast, Abreu is a world class forward. I am wondering if he is going to find a new team at the end of the season.
