He is the tenth highest scorer in the history of River Plate (112 goals), where he won five local and three international championships. During his experience in Europe, he especially excelled at Girondins de Bordeaux. There he was voted Best Foreign Player in Ligue 1 in 2008.
Trajectory
Beginnings
He began playing football in the lower divisions of Rivadavia at the age of 9, a team from the neighboring city of Chacabuco and later moved on to Club Atlético River Plate. At the age of 16 he was called to train with the First.
River Plate
He made his debut against Club Guaraní, for the Copa Libertadores, on March 6, 2001. He came on for Nelson Cuevas 17 minutes from the end; he gave an assist to Javier Saviola and also scored a goal.
At 18 years and four months old, Fernando Cavenaghi made his debut in the First Division in the game in which River Plate, led by Tolo Gallego, beat Estudiantes de La Plata 6-2 in the Clausura 2001. He entered the 38 minutes into the second half, replacing Javier Saviola.
His first goal was made on the seventh date of the same tournament, at home in a 3-2 win against Argentinos Juniors. He was downgraded again when he took over as the technical director of the Ramón Díaz team, but he immediately established himself as the top scorer for the Under-19 team that won the Chivas Cup in Mexico. In his first full season he scored 17 goals in 23 games, including a hat-trick against the Estudiantes de La Plata club. Months later, at barely 18 years old, Fernando enjoyed a double game: he was proclaimed champion of a regular First Division tournament together with his teammates for the first time in his short and successful sports career, in the Clausura 2002, and he established himself as a goalscorer for said tournament with 15 goals. Despite getting injured, in the following tournament, the Apertura 2002, he scored 7 goals.
This would not be his last achievement: in the Clausura 2003 he lifted another champion's cup again, being the top scorer for his team and third in the tournament's final scorer table (behind Luciano Figueroa and Roberto Nanni) with 13 goals converted (only one penalty).
On May 16, 2004, at La Bombonera against Boca Juniors, he scored the only goal for his team with a header. He gave the team led by Leonardo Astrada 1-0, 37 minutes into the first half, after a corner kick from the right. Claudio Husaín hit the near post with his brakes, correcting the direction of the ball and leaving the goalkeeper of the opposing team, Roberto Abbondanzieri, without a reaction.
Before he was twenty years old, he had achieved notable results in his sports career. The last title achieved in River was in the Clausura 2004, in addition to his last tournament in the institution. He was the team's top scorer with 9 goals. In total, up to that moment, in the Núñez entity, he had scored 72 goals in a total of 122 games, before signing with the Russian club Spartak Moscow, at the beginning of the 2004/2005 season, for a price of £ 6.5 million.
On November 21, 2004, he was back in the country for the break in the Russian championship and made headlines because on Sunday he joined the millionaire brava bar as one more fan, getting on an avalanche and making noise a hype from Los Borrachos del Tablón.
The criticism that Cavenaghi received from some media led him to give public explanations about these events, which he described as "sentimental".
I always wanted to do something like that, but as I was inside the court I didn't have the chance. But I must clarify that it was not the swollen who invited me to the rostrum, but I called them to take me with the bar.
Regarding the diffusion that this could have in Russia and its consequences (some considered that it could be taken as a lack of professionalism), El Torito was unconcerned. & # 34; What are they going to tell me if I'm on vacation & # 34;, he argued from his logic, in which the River fan and the player agree.
Spartak Moscow
Due to his good performances, offers from European clubs for the Argentine player began to appear. His achievements in soccer evidenced an imminent European future for the goalscorer. CSKA Moscow and Juventus in Turin were interested in him, until finally in the 2004 season he signed, at the age of 20, for Spartak Moscow in Russia for 11.5 million dollars for his pass.
He made 63 appearances and scored 17 goals, including a UEFA Champions League game in his first season. With the passage of time, he was increasingly relegated from the team and, in April 2006, with the arrival of coach Vladimir Fedótov, he was relegated to the substitute bench, and seeing himself without possibilities in the team, he expressed his desire to be transferred. The club accepted and set a price: 12 million dollars.
Girondins from Bordeaux
At the beginning of 2007 he signed for Girondins de Bordeaux, for 4 and a half years where his goals in his first season allowed him to be runner-up to Olympique Lyonnais.

He played 105 games and scored 46 goals, winning five titles with his team: 1 Ligue 1 2009, 2 French Super Cups 2008 and 2009 and 2 League Cup 2007 and 2009.
Loan to Mallorca
On August 27, 2010, Mallorca obtained his loan for one season, which saved a purchase option, valued at 3.5 million euros, for him.
He was only at RCD Mallorca for 6 months, playing a total of 11 games in the Spanish First Division, 7 of them as a starter and the rest starting from the bench. He scored a total of 2 goals (he scored a double against Real Sociedad). In the Copa del Rey he scored 4 goals, both doubles against Real Sporting de Gijón and UD Almería.
Loan to Sport Club Internacional

After achieving promotion with River Plate, both he and Alejandro Domínguez had a tough clash with president Daniel Passarella and ended up leaving the club: Domínguez had to continue his career at Valencia, the club that had loaned him out and Cavenaghi was left free.
