Muslera, who plays for Montevideo giants Nacional, is one of the most promising goalkeepers to come out of South America in recent years.
At only 21 he has already cemented himself a starting role for his club, and is highly likely to be the successor of Fabian Carini as the goalkeeper of the Uruguayan national team.
Last season he was in outstanding form as Nacional reached the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Muslera, who stands at 1.90 metres, was regularly Nacional’s best player on the field, and his performances attracted huge interest from leading European clubs.
For now it seems that the team who are leading the race to sign the goalkeeper are Inter Milan. The Italian champions are very keen on the youngster, and are likely to offer him a lucrative contract at the club in the next few days.
Italian rivals Juventus are also interested in the goalkeeper, and are in advanced talks with his agent to bring him to Turin.
On Saturday Arsenal also joined the race to sign him. In the past the English club almost signed Uruguayan goalkeepers Fabian Carini, and Sebastian Viera.
The other teams who have publicized their interest in the talented goalkeeper are Benfica and Genoa.
According to Muslera’s agent the player has already made up his mind on which club to join, but will not reveal who until the end of the week. All we know for now is that he will be transferred to a “big” European club.
