Renzo Sánchez Veiga (born 17 February 2004) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Nacional.
Early life
Born in Rocha, Renzo Sánchez first played with local club Palermo FC [es] before joining the Club Nacional de Football ahead of the 2020 season, as he was also scouted by Argentine club River Plate.[1][2][3]
Club career
Sánchez made his first team debut during the 2022 pre-season friendlies,[1][3][4] before signing his first contract with Club Nacional.[5]
Having fully moved to the first team during the summer,[6] Sánchez made his professional debut for Nacional on 22 September 2022, coming on as a second half substitute for Santiago Ramírez in the 3–0 Copa Uruguay away defeat to Rampla Juniors.[2][7][8]
International career
In September 2022, Sánchez was called up to the Uruguay under-20 team for the first time, to take part in the South American Games.[9] On 3 January 2023, he was called up by Marcelo Broli for the South American Under-20 Championship,[10] which his team finished second.[11]
In January 2024, Sánchez was named in Uruguay's squad for the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[12]
Style of play
Coming through the Palermo academy as a central midfielder, Sánchez later developed himself as a more offensive potential by playing as a winger on both flanks, as an attacking midfielder or even a striker.[2][5][13]
