Gabriel Aguayo (born 10 February 2005) is a Paraguayan footballer who plays for Paraguayan Primera División club Cerro Porteño.

Club career

[edit]

Born in San Estanislao, Aguayo began playing football at age five.[1] He broke into the senior setup at Cerro Porteño at age nineteen in 2024. He debuted on 15 March in a league match against Sportivo Luqueño.[2]

In July 2024, the Daily Express reported that he was being monitored by Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers and D.C. United and Nashville SC of Major League Soccer.[3]

International career

[edit]

Head coach of the national under-23 team Carlos Jara Saguier wanted to include Aguayo in Paraguay's squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics but the player became eligible after the deadline for roster submissions.[2]

At age nineteen, in his first season of senior club football, Aguayo was called up to the senior national team for the first time for friendlies against Peru, Chile, and Panama in June 2024 as part of the team's preparation for 2024 Copa América.[4][5]
