Julio Nehúen Daguer González (born 22 February 2008) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Uruguayan Primera División club Peñarol and the Uruguay national team.[1]

Club career

Daguer is a youth academy graduate of Peñarol. He made his senior team debut for Peñarol on 27 August 2025 in a 3–0 cup win against IA Río Negro.[2]

International career

Daguer has represented Uruguay at various youth levels. He was part of Uruguay's squad at the 2023 South American U-15 Championship and the 2025 South American U-17 Championship.[3][4]

In October 2025, he traveled with the Uruguay senior team to Malaysia as a sparring partner for friendlies against the Dominican Republic and Uzbekistan.[5] With head coach Marcelo Bielsa naming a slim 17-player squad for these matches, Daguer was one of six sparring partners on the bench to fill the substitute spots for the match against the Dominican Republic on 10 October.[6] He made his debut in injury time of the second half, replacing Agustín Álvarez, who had sustained an injury in the final minutes of the game.[7] This made him the fourth-youngest player to debut for Uruguay and the youngest to make his Uruguay national team debut in the 21st century.[8]

In June 2026, Daguer was selected as a training player to accompany the squad to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[9]
