Giorgian Daniel De Arrascaeta Benedetti[1] (locally [ˈʃoɾʃan de araskaˈeta], born 1 June 1994) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Flamengo and the Uruguay national team.

Club career

De Arrasceata debuted for Defensor Sporting in the Uruguayan Primera División in October 2012, four months after his 18th birthday.[2] He was a member of the team as it won the 2013 Clausura championship, and played in the Championship play-off, a 3–1 loss to Peñarol.[2]

Cruzeiro

De Arrasceata's performances for Defensor in its run to the semi-finals of the 2014 Copa Libertadores attracted the Brazilian champions Cruzeiro, who signed the playmaker in January 2015.

In Cruzeiro, De Arrascaeta formed what became known as "La Banda", along with former Vélez Sarsfield stars Lucas Romero and Ariel Cabral.[3] This trio, along with fellow stars Thiago Neves and Robinho helped Cruzeiro win the 2017 Copa do Brasil, 2018 Campeonato Mineiro, and 2018 Copa do Brasil, scoring decisive goals in all three finals.

Flamengo

Flamengo began to show interest in Arrascaeta. On 3 January 2019, he began not showing up on training after the summer break, trying to force his exit from Cruzeiro.[4] Claiming to receive thousands of insults, on 7 January 2019, Cruzeiro's and Flamengo's representatives went to Uruguay to resolve the problem: on 8 January, the transfer was completed for a record R$63 million, the biggest transfer in Brazilian football history.[5] On 12 January, he was announced as a new player.

International career

After scoring twice for Uruguay as they finished runners-up at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, De Arrascaeta made his debut for the Uruguay senior team in a friendly match against South Korea in September 2014. He assisted the only goal of the game, scored by José Giménez, in the 1–0 win in Goyang.[6]

De Arrascaeta was included in Uruguay's squad for the 2015 Copa América by coach Óscar Tabárez. He was assigned the prestigious number 10 shirt, previously worn by national team legend Diego Forlán.[7] On 6 June 2015, De Arrascaeta scored his first senior international goal during a 5–1 pre-tournament friendly win over Guatemala in Montevideo.[8] De Arrascaeta made his tournament debut as a 64th-minute substitute as Uruguay defeated Jamaica 1–0 in their opening group match on 13 June.[9] In May 2018 he was named in Uruguay's provisional 26-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[10]
