Exporting elite talents

Club Atlético Peñarol, one of the most historic and successful clubs in South American football, have officially joined TransferRoom, world football’s transfer marketplace.

Founded in Montevideo in 1891, Peñarol are five-time Copa Libertadores winners and a club with a proud tradition of developing and exporting elite talent.

Standout examples of notable sales for players who have gone on to be international stars include Agustín Álvarez, Darwin Núñez, Brian Rodríguez, Federico Valverde, Facundo Torres and Facundo Pellistri.

By joining TransferRoom, the Uruguayan champions are taking a strategic step to modernise how they connect with clubs and agencies worldwide with access to its online platform, while maintaining their strong football identity.
