Deivis Faustino Barone Mora (born 11 May 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for River Plate Montevideo. Born in Paraguay, he has represented Uruguay at youth international level.
Barone was born in Asunción, Paraguay, to former Uruguayan footballer Deivis Barone, who was playing for Paraguayan side Club Libertad at the time.[1] His sister, Fátima Barone, has gone on to become an international footballer for Uruguay.[2]
After his family returned to Uruguay, he lived in San Ramón in the Canelones Department, and began his footballing career as a defender for local side Huracán de San Ramón.[1] After joining the academy of professional side River Plate Montevideo, he transitioned to become a centre-forward.[1]
Having made his professional debut for River Plate on 19 February 2023, when he came on as a second-half substitute for Pablo Nicolás López de León in a 0–0 Uruguayan Primera División draw with Racing, Barone would have to wait until an injury crisis at the club in June 2023 to feature again.[1] In his third game for the club, he was named as a starter for the away match against Peñarol. With the score at 1–1, Barone scored from close range following a cross from the left wing provided by Joaquín Lavega.[3] The same two players combined again for River Plate's third goal in their eventual 3–1 win, with Barone scoring from a similar position.[3]
