Néstor Fernando Muslera Micol (Spanish: [feɾˈnando musˈleɾa]; born 16 June 1986) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for and captains Süper Lig club Galatasaray.

Muslera began his career at Montevideo Wanderers and Nacional, moving to Lazio in 2007 where he won the 2009 Coppa Italia final.

Further impressive performances in away wins over Napoli and Genoa, as well as in his first ever Derby della Capitale against Roma, saw Muslera regain a considerable amount of faith he had lost the previous season.

In the final on 13 May 2009, Muslera saved two penalties as Lazio emerged victorious 6–5 in the shootout after the match ended 1–1 in extra time.

[6] On 19 July 2011, Turkish Süper Lig club Galatasaray announced the signing of Muslera from Lazio on a five-year contract while he was on duty in the 2011 Copa América with Uruguay.

[7] The transfer involved Lorik Cana moving in the opposite direction to Lazio, while Galatasaray also paid €6.75 million to Muslera's former club, Montevideo Wanderers,[8][9] which owned 50% of his playing rights.

On 8 April 2012, the last day of the 2011–12 Süper Lig season, Muslera scored his first career goal, a penalty against Manisaspor.

[15] Muslera played 31 matches as Galatasaray regained their league title, but was absent in their cup final victory over Bursaspor due to his commitments for the 2015 Copa América.

[17] On 27 February 2021, Muslera played his 300th league match for Galatasaray against BB Erzurumspor, breaking the appearances record for a foreign player in the Süper Lig.

[19] On 13 December 2021, in an away league match against Sivasspor, Muslera collided with his teammate Christian Luyindama in his box and was left writhing in pain.

He was a key component of the Uruguay team that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup and subsequently finished fourth in the tournament.

[22] Muslera was called again by coach Óscar Tabárez to represent Uruguay as the first-choice goalkeeper at the 2011 Copa América, held in Argentina.

[30][31] In the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Muslera lost his place as the national team's first-choice keeper to Sergio Rochet.
