Born in Montevideo and a Liverpool of Uruguay product, the diminutive De la Cruz earned a move to River Plate in 2017, where he became a Copa Libertadores winner and a fan favourite for his creativity and dead-ball ability. In 2024 he joined Brazilian giants Flamengo, continuing to rack up trophies. A clever, left-footed playmaker, he adds invention to Uruguay's midfield.
