Career

Grossmüller began his footballing career in 1988, at the age of 5, as a youth player with his local team, Ombu. He stayed as a player for 8 years before moving to Primera División Uruguaya side Danubio F.C. where he started his professional career though he only played 36 games in 7 years. He was however called up to his national football team, Uruguay where he made his debut against Mexico in 2003. In 2004 he was sent on loan to Segunda División Uruguay, Centro Atlético Fénix where he made 6 appearances before going back to Danubio. During the next two seasons at Danubio he went on to play 52 league games and netted 13 goals which prompted interest from German side Schalke 04 with whom he signed a 4 year contract in 2007. His first goal in the Bundesliga, a free kick against Werder Bremen, went on to be nominated as "Goal of the Month" in German television.
