Cristian David Núñez Morales (born 20 September 1997) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Sol de América, on loan from Lanús.[1]

Club career

After moving to Argentina at the age of eight, Núñez spent his whole youth career with Los Andes.[3] Aged sixteen, he returned to Paraguay to join Cuarta División side Juventud Loma Pytá.[3] Having debuted at the senior level with them, Núñez headed back to Argentina with Vélez Sarsfield in 2016.[3] He made the step into their first-team in January 2018, as he appeared on the substitute's bench seven times during 2017–18 but went unused.[1][4] In the club's Primera División finale in that season, Núñez made his debut by coming on as a late substitute for Santiago Cáseres during a 1–1 draw with Argentinos Juniors on home soil.[1][5]

In September 2020, Núñez terminated his Vélez contract a year early in order to sign with divisional rivals Lanús.[3] His first appearance arrived on 25 November in a Copa Sudamericana round of sixteen first leg encounter with Bolívar, as he featured for the full duration of a 2–1 defeat on his continental debut.[1] On 11 February 2021, after no further matches for Lanús, Núñez was loaned to Primera B Nacional with Platense.[2] In June 2021, Núñez moved to Paraguayan club Sol de América on a one-year loan deal.[6]

International career

In November 2019, Núñez received a call-up to Paraguay's U23 squad for friendlies with Venezuela.[7] Months later, Núñez made the final squad for the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Colombia.[8] He made appearances against Uruguay and Bolivia as they were eliminated at the first stage.[1]
