Club career

edit

Cerro Porteno

edit

Piris spent three years at Cerro Porteño, playing a particularly large role in the club's run to the semi-finals of the 2011 Copa Libertadores. His performances in the competition alerted clubs around the world of his ability, and it looked unlikely that he would stay with Cerro Porteño. He eventually signed for Brazilian club São Paulo FC for a fee of alleged €2 million.[1] São Paulo signed Piris on a two-year loan deal on 19 July 2011 from a proxy club Deportivo Maldonado.[2][3]

São Paulo

edit

Piris joined up with his new teammates after the 2011 Copa América after São Paulo announced his signing on Thursday 15 July.[4]

Roma

edit

On 1 August 2012, Piris was loaned to Italian side Roma for a fee of €700,000, with the option of purchasing his rights at the end of the 2012–13 season for €4 million.[5] He was virtually ever-present in the side under Zdeněk Zeman but, following the arrival of Aurelio Andreazzoli, he found playing time more difficult to come by, having to compete with Vasilis Torosidis.

Sporting Lisbon

edit

Piris signed with Sporting on loan for the 2013–14 season.[6]

Udinese

edit

Piris returned to Italian Serie A for Udinese in August 2014.[7] According to La Gazzetta dello Sport it was a loan,[7] but according to Lega Serie A, it was a definitive deal from Deportivo Maldonado.[8]

Monterrey

edit

International career

edit

Piris was part of Paraguay's 2011 Copa América runners-up side. He played in the semi-final victory over Venezuela,[9] as well as the 3–0 loss to Uruguay in the final.[10]
