Youth and reserve sides are recorded separately: Argentina U23 (2008), Argentina U20 (2007), Boca Juniors (2006).

The record spans 20 years, from 2007 to 2026, across 7 clubs, with 6 moves between them. The longest single spell was at Argentina, 9 recorded seasons from 2008 to 2018, and the average club spell runs to 2.9 seasons.

International football accounts for a further 9 seasons with Argentina, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap. Youth and reserve appearances are held separately below and are not counted in these figures.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Read against this site’s own league archive: Sevilla did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2015–2018 spell; Inter did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2016 spell; Valencia did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2007–2012 spell; Atletico Madrid did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2008 spell.

Honours

12 titles are recorded, alongside 19 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.
