Career
He started playing at age 6 for Club Parque. At 7 he first played an 11-a-side match with Lanús. At 10 he left to live in Europe and played for the academy sections of Atlético Madrid and Barcelona but returned to Argentina due to family reasons. He returned to Lanús and signed his first contract. At the end of 2011 he decided to leave due to some interpersonal issues at the club.
In 2012 he spoke to Argentinos Juniors, who wanted to sign him but his agent advised him to sign for the more prestigious River Plate whom he joined midway through 2012 and where he signed a contract in December of that year.
Bournemouth
In September 2015, he was loaned to newly promoted Premier League club Bournemouth to gain more experience as part of the club's under-21s squad.
