Football career

In his extensive professional career, Morales represented six teams in his country, including both Avellaneda giants, Club Atlético Independiente and Racing Club, starting his career at the former and having two spells with both.

His first abroad experience came in June 1997, at the age of 22, as he played in Italy for U.C. Sampdoria for a few months, netting against Juventus FC. In the ensuing transfer window, he signed with CP Mérida in Spain but collected almost no La Liga appearances, in a relegation-ending season.

After returning to his country, with Racing, Morales moved abroad again, playing for Mexican outfits Cruz Azul, CD Veracruz and Dorados de Sinaloa. At 33, he signed with Uruguay's Club Nacional de Football and, two years later, in 2010, returned to his country and joined Club Atlético Huracán.[1]

Personal life

Morales' older brother, Carlos, was also a footballer. Also a midfielder, he represented Paraguay internationally, having been born in the country.
