is a Uruguayan former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Zalayeta began his club career with Danubio before moving to PeΓ±arol for a season in 1997, where he won the Uruguayan Primera DivisiΓ³n and the Uruguayan Liguilla Cup. Later that year, he was acquired by Italian club Juventus, where he remained for ten seasons, winning three Serie A titles and reaching the 2003 UEFA Champions League Final, although he was sent on several loan spells with Empoli, Spanish side Sevilla and Perugia during his time at the Turin club, due to heavy competition from other strikers in the team's line-up. He moved to Napoli in 2007, where he remained for three more seasons, aside from a loan spell with Bologna during the 2009β10 season. After his time in Italy, he later spent a season with Turkish side Kayserispor, before returning to his home nation to play for PeΓ±arol once again, winning the Uruguayan Primera DivisiΓ³n for a second time in 2013, before retiring in 2016.
At international level, Zalayeta represented the Uruguay national team on 32 occasions between 1997 and 2005, scoring ten goals. At youth level, he was a member of the team that finished second in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, and at senior level, he helped Uruguay reach the 1999 Copa AmΓ©rica final.
