Carlos Javier Acuña Caballero (born June 23, 1988 in Encarnación) is a Paraguayan footballer who currently plays for Real Madrid Castilla in Segunda División B, as a striker.

[edit] Football career

In 2004, Acuña helped Paraguay win the U16 South American Championship, also topping the goal charts. He was immediately bought by Cádiz CF of Spain, for a then club record of around 100 million pesetas. He had to wait one year in the sidelines, however, to make his first team debut, as the Andalusians already had its foreign-players quota full.^[1]

From 2006–08, Acuña represented Cádiz and UD Salamanca, both in the second division (the latter on loan). On December 17, 2008, Real Madrid's official website confirmed an agreement for the transfer of the player, for five years. He was immediately sent into the B squad.^[2] He was called to the first team in 2009 against Sporting de Gijon.
