Career

He started his professional career in Montevideo playing for Danubio, then in 2000 he moved to Europe to the Grasshopper Club Zürich in Switzerland for a club record €4.5 million.[1] There he scored an impressive number of goals and assists.

He moved to Atletico Madrid in Spain in January 2005[2] as one of the non-EU player and made his debut against Albacete Balompié on 29 January 2005.

Mexico

He has played in Mexico since 13 August 2005, when he joined Cruz Azul, scoring 4 goals against Tecos UAG in his debut match. He later joined C.F. Pachuca. In May 2006, after a successful campaign with Pachuca, he re-signed with Cruz Azul to a 2-year contract.^{[citation needed]}

On 3 January 2008 he has been transferred to Cruz Azul's Rival Club América for US$1,250,000 in 2-year contract worth $700,000 annually.[3] Núñez already wanted to leave Cruz Azul because his future in Cruz Azul depended on what would happen with the transfer of Cesar Delgado.^{[citation needed]}

He played his last game for América in 2008 Copa Libertadores semi-finals first leg. He did not play the second leg due to illness and started his holiday from 4 to 24 June.[3]

Transfer controversy

On 6 June 2008 he was put on the transfer list by Club América.[4] Nuñez was to stay at Club América as a punishment but without playing any tournament or filial teams for not accepting to go to Puebla.[5] However, Nuñez unilaterally terminated his contract and left for Peñarol in September 2008, after FIFA granted the player had rights to sign a new club independently to the contract dispute with América.[3] Also, América sued Nuñez for damages after AWOL (since 25 June) on 13 August directly to FIFA and he counter-sued the club for un-paid wages of August and to resolute the contract as the club allegedly prevented him to train with club through phone conversation. On 5 February 2010, FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber returned the case to Mexican Football Federation.[3] In July 2010, Núñez reached an agreement with Club América.[6]
