Washington Sebastián Abreu Gallo (Spanish pronunciation: [seβasˈtjan aˈβɾeu]; born 17 October 1976) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Brazilian club Bangu Atlético Clube as a striker.

Best known by his nickname El Loco (Madman in Spanish), the prolific goalscorer – for club and national team – played for more than 20 teams during his professional career, in ten countries.

A Uruguayan international during more than 15 years, Abreu represented the country in two World Cups and three Copa América tournaments.

Born in Minas, Lavalleja Department, Abreu played in numerous clubs throughout the Americas (Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico and Brazil). He also had an unsuccessful stint with Spain's Deportivo de La Coruña, which loaned him several times for the duration of his contract.

In his sole season in La Liga, which started in January 1998, having been signed from San Lorenzo de Almagro, Abreu scored for the Galicians in a 3–1 home win against FC Barcelona on 25 January.

After having joined Mexico's Tigres de la UANL in 2007, Abreu was able to rescind his contract with them in order to join Club Atlético River Plate – the Mexican Football Federation stalled on recognizing the transfer because of an imposed moratorium between the clubs. With Tigres he became the only foreigner to score in the Clasico Regio (Tigres vs. C.F. Monterrey, which he represented the previous year) against each team.
