Club career
Tagliafico made his professional debut for Banfield on a 2–1 away victory against Tigre for the fifth fixture of the 2011 Clausura, coming on as a substitute on the 72nd minute. Due to Marcelo Bustamante's ban, he was a starter the following game, a 2–2 draw with Huracán. In 2012, Tagliafico signed a one-year loan deal with Spanish club Real Murcia.
In 2015 he made the move to Independiente for an undisclosed transfer fee and made his professional debut for the club during a 3-2 away win at Newell's Old Boys.
International career
Tagliafico has played in all the youth categories of the Argentine national team: under-15, under-17 and under-20. Tagliafico impressed for the Argentina national under-20 football team at the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia; however, he missed Argentina's final kick in the quarter-final penalty shoot-out against Portugal, meaning Argentina exited that competition 5-4 on penalties (Cartagena, 13 August 2011).
