Racing Club
Centurión joined Racing's youth setup at the age of 15 and came through the ranks. He is described as a "whippy, quick, skilful support striker whose elusive dribbling made a big impact in the recent Argentine championship". His style of play drew early comparison to compatriot Ángel Di María.
On 19 August 2012, Centurión had a hand in both goals as Racing defeated local rivals Independiente 2-0 in the Avellaneda derby at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón. This performance was considered the youngster's breakthrough game for La Academia, and he went on to establish himself as the squad's first-choice left midfielder in a 4-4-2 formation.
Racing president Gastón Cogorno confirmed on 24 January 2013 that Centurión was on the verge of agreeing a deal to join Russian top division outfit Anzhi Makhachkala in the summer of 2013. During negotiations, the deal fell through after contract disagreements between the two clubs.
On 2 September 2013, the final day of the summer transfer window, Genoa confirmed to loan signing of Centurión with an option to buy at the end of the season.
São Paulo
On 30 January 2015, it was confirmed that Centurión signed for Brazilian club São Paulo FC, who gained 70% of the player's rights for €4.2 million.
Boca Juniors
In 2016, Centurión returned to Argentina, in a season-long loan deal with Boca Juniors, with the option to be fully signed by the club.
