Gonzalo Gastón Freitas Silva (born 2 October 1991) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Peñarol.[1]

Career

Freitas' senior career started with Bella Vista of the Uruguayan Primera División.[1] He made his professional debut in the 2011 Copa Sudamericana, it came in a first stage first leg against Universidad Católica on 2 August.[1] His league debut came just over a month later in a home loss to Cerrito.[1] He made thirteen appearances in his debut season. Twenty-four followed in the following season, 2012–13, as well as two goals, including his career first versus Progreso on 29 September 2012.[1] Bella Vista were relegated in 2012–13, Freitas subsequently joined top-flight team Liverpool.[1][2]

He played in twenty-one matches as Liverpool were relegated, with Freitas therefore suffering back-to-back relegations.[1] In the Uruguayan Segunda División, Freitas scored five goals in twenty-four games as Liverpool won the title and promotion back to the Primera División.[1] Three goals in fifty-three matches followed in the next three seasons with Liverpool in the top-flight.[1][3] On 18 July 2017, Freitas left Uruguayan football to join Argentine Primera División side Atlético Tucumán on loan.[4][5] He returned to Liverpool a year later but was soon sold to Peñarol.[1]
