Career edit

Juventud de Las Piedras edit

Born in Las Piedras,[2] Alberti began his pro career with hometown club Juventud after spending a number of years within the club's youth ranks. He made his league debut for the club in August 2016, playing the entirety of a 2–0 victory over Sud América.[3] Against the same club the following year, he scored his first competitive goal for the club, scoring a late equalizer to secure a 2–2 draw.[4] Alberti would spend four seasons with the club's first-team roster before departing prior to the 2020 season.

Boston River edit

Following Juventud's relegation at the end of the 2019 season, Alberti pivoted to Boston River and remained in the Uruguayan Primera División.[5] He made his debut for the club just days after joining in February, appearing in Boston River's opening day victory over Deportivo Maldonado.[6] He scored his first goal for the club later that season, netting a brace in a 5–1 victory over Deportivo Maldonado in October 2020.[7] Through three seasons, he registered 100 total league appearances for the club. However, following the 2022 season and a potential move to Nacional falling through, Alberti stated his desires to move abroad for the sake of his career.[8]

Emelec (loan) edit

In January 2023, Alberti moved on loan to Ecuadorian club Emelec, embarking on a one-year loan with an option to buy.[9] Upon arrival at the club, Alberti commented on the club's expectations to win a title in 2023, which they'd failed to accomplish since 2017.[10] He made his competitive debut in the club's opening match of the season, a 2–0 victory over Libertad.[11]
