Marcelo Alejandro Estigarribia Balmori (born 21 September 1987 in Fernando de la Mora) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays for Liga MX side Chiapas on loan from Deportivo Maldonado.
Estigarribia has been known since youth as Chelo, as a diminutive of his name Marcelo. He also has an Italian passport by way of his mother.
He was born and raised in Fernando de la Mora, one kilometer away from the Paraguayan capital Asunción. He comes from a strongly Catholic family.
Estigarribia started his career in the youth divisions of Club Unión Pacífico before moving to Sport Colombia where he made his professional debut at the age of 17.
In 2006 he moved to Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño, and in August 2008 he was transferred to Le Mans of the Ligue 1.
On 27 December 2009, Newell's Old Boys signed the versatile Paraguayan midfielder on loan from French side Le Mans UC for 18 months. In June 2011, it was reported by the Daily Record that Scottish Premier League club Rangers were chasing Estigarribia when their boss Ally McCoist spent a week scouting in Argentina.
On 28 August 2011, Estigarribia moved to Juventus F.C. on a season loan for a 0.5 million euro fee, with an option of making the transfer permanent for 5 million euros at the end of the season, from a proxy club Deportivo Maldonado. He made his debut as a substitute against Chievo and got his first start against Genoa. He scored his first goal for Juventus against Napoli where the match ended in a 3–3 tie.
