Fernando Muslera is officially the sixth best goalkeeper in the world according to the The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) 2011 keeper rankings.

Galatasaray signed Muslera for €12 million in addition to a part-exchange deal with Albanian international Lorik Cana.

The transfer earned him the title of becoming the most expensive keeper to ever grace the Turkish game and the fifth most expensive keeper in the world.

The Uruguayan international had an impressive debut season at Galatasaray. Nando conceded the fewest goals in the league, 30 in 37 games and also kept 19 clean sheets, a new club record.

Muslera played an integral role in helping the Lions lift the league title and even managed to score a goal.

The Galatasaray keeper has not been selected for Uruguay's Olympic team.
