Néstor Fernando Muslera (born June 16, 1986 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan football goalkeeper who currently plays for Italian Serie A club S.S. Lazio.
Muslera joined Lazio at the close of the August transfer window for €3 million from Nacional as a replacement for the retired Angelo Peruzzi and after plans to sign Juan Pablo Carrizo fell through. Interest had been showed in Muslera from Benfica, Arsenal, Juventus and Inter.
Muslera made his debut for Lazio in a 2-2 draw with Cagliari on 16 September 2007, and made four more consecutive starts, the last which was a disappointing performance in Lazio's 5-1 home loss to Milan on 7 October that saw him benched in favor of veteran Marco Ballotta.
Muslera has also been called up for the Uruguayan national team, but he has yet to earn his first cap.
