Esteban Nahuel Crucci Picardo (born 5 July 2006) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a forward for Montevideo Wanderers.
Born in Montevideo, Crucci joined local Montevideo Wanderers at under-14 level. His 20 goals for the under-19s in 2023 made him the top scorer that year in the entire organisation, leading to his first professional contract. [1]
On 4 May 2024, Crucci scored his first professional goal in the Uruguayan Primera División to open a 2–0 home win over previously unbeaten Liverpool Montevideo. He came on in the 81st minute as a substitute for Matías Fonseca, and six minutes later he received the ball with his back to goal three-quarters up the pitch; he turned and ran past three opponents before taking his shot. [2] [3]
Crucci represented Uruguay at under-15 and under-17 level. [1] In July 2024, he was the top scorer for the under-20 team at the L'Alcúdia International Football Tournament in Spain, though he was substituted through injury in the final victory over Argentina. [4]
At the 2025 South American U-20 Championship, Crucci scored twice as Uruguay reached the final stage. He netted in a 6–0 group rout of Paraguay, and a 4–3 loss to Argentina. [5] [6]
