His debut came in an away match against Tacuarembó, in which he came off the bench and won a decisive penalty as Danubio claimed a 2–1 victory.

Lazio

Barreto's talent attracted interest from big clubs and he quickly made the move to Europe. On 2 September 2009, Barreto went to Rome to sign a five-year deal with Lazio, who bought him for about €1.781 million.
