Washington Sebastián Abreu Gallo, Abreu (born 17 October, 1976 in Minas), is an Uruguayan football centre forward, nicknamed "El Loco" (The mad man). He currently plays for CA River Plate in Argentina.

Football career

A prolific goal scorer, Abreu has played in numerous clubs throughout the Americas (Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico and Brazil) also having an unsuccessful stint with Spain's Deportivo de La Coruña, who loaned him several times for the duration of his contract.

After having joined Mexico's UANL Tigres in 2007, he was able to rescind his contract with them in order to join River Plate. The Mexican FA stalled on recognizing the transfer because of an imposed moratorium between the sides.

In the summer of 2008, after a long and exhausting negotiations, Abreu signed a contract with Israeli Premier League champions Beitar Jerusalem FC. He played a few matches in the qualyfying round for the UEFA Champions League, but his team was quickly eliminated. He couldn't play in the local tournament for Beitar due to the club not paying him his salary.

After rescinding his contract with Beitar, Abreu re-signed with River Plate in September 2008, with a contract lasting until June 2009. Due to Abreu signing too late, he was not able to play for River in the local championship, only in the Southamerican Cup. The next year, he was eligible for both the domestic and Libertadores Cup fronts.

An Uruguayan international since July 17, 1996 (China 1 - Uruguay 1), Abreu played for the national side at the 2002 FIFA World Cup (2 matches) and the 1997 and 2007 Copa América tournaments, netting twice in the latter.
