Gastón Brugman Duarte (born 7 September 1992) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Major League Soccer club Los Angeles Galaxy.
Club career
Early career
Born in Rosario, Uruguay, Brugman began playing football in Peñarol's youth system. He moved to Italy to join Empoli in 2011. He made his debut in Empoli's 0–1 defeat to Modena coming on as 58th-minute substitute replacing Riccardo Nardini.
Pescara and loans
In summer 2012, he moved to Serie A club Pescara.[2] The following January, he was loaned to Grosseto in Serie B. In the 2013–14 season, coach Pasquale Marino made him a regular starter at Pescara,[3] who had been relegated to Serie B. Having further blossomed under coach Serse Cosmi, Brugman's play was likened to that of Andrea Pirlo and former Pescara player Marco Verratti.[3]
In summer 2014, he was close to a transfer to Villarreal, which was canceled due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.[4]
Palermo
On 10 July 2015, he moved on loan to Serie A club Palermo, with a buyout clause.[5]
Parma
On 1 August 2019, Serie A side Parma announced the signing of Brugman on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy.[6]
Loan to Real Oviedo
On 1 September 2021, he joined Spanish club Oviedo on loan.[7]
LA Galaxy
On 6 July 2022, Brugman joined Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8]
International career
In November 2009, he made his debut for Uruguay U17 in a match against Spain U17, which Spain won on penalties.
