Career

Liverpool were Almeida's first senior team, beginning in his homeland of Uruguay and subsequently remaining for six years with Liverpool.[1][2] His debut for the club arrived on 13 August 2011 in a draw away to Racing Club (M), which was one of four appearances in the 2011–12 Uruguayan Primera División.[1] Four years and fifty-four appearances later, in March 2015, Almeida scored his first goal in a 2–5 victory over Cerrito; which came in the Uruguayan Segunda División following relegation in 2013–14 - Liverpool won instant promotion back in 2014–15 as champions.[1] He made his Copa Sudamericana bow in 2017 against Fluminense.[1]

In January 2018, Argentine Primera División side Defensa y Justicia signed Almeida.[1][3][4] Two goals, against Racing Club (A) and Mitre (cup), in sixteen matches followed in his first season.[1] Almeida departed in January 2019 to join Belgrano.[5] He remained for twelve months as Belgrano suffered relegation to Primera B Nacional.[1] Almeida left in January 2020, as he agreed terms with Godoy Cruz.[6][7]
