Néstor Fernando Muslera Micol (Spanish: [ferˈnando muˈzleɾa], born 16 June 1986) is an Argentine-born Uruguayan footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Turkish club Galatasaray and the Uruguayan national team. He was selected as the seventh best goalkeeper in the world in 2010 and sixth best goalkeeper in the world in 2011 by the IFFHS.
He 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 around €12 million, where he has since won honours including three Süper Lig titles.
A full international since 2009, Muslera has earned over 80 caps for Uruguay. He played at three Copa América tournaments, winning in 2011, and also featured at two World Cups, helping his nation to fourth place in the 2010 edition.
Born in Buenos Aires, Muslera moved to Montevideo where he started his professional football career with Montevideo Wanderers, having come through the club's youth system. After impressive performances for Wanderers, Uruguayan giants Nacional opted to take him on loan in 2007. After returning to Wanderers, and a display of successful performances, he began to attract attention from Europe, until he was signed by Lazio in 2007.
