His dual nationality and adaptability on the field make him a valuable addition to O'Higgins' lineup as they face the upcoming challenges of the season.

The Argentine-Chilean midfielder, with a past at Racing Club de Avellaneda, Inter Miami, and CF Montréal, joins the Capo de Provincia to face the challenges of the current season. Let's go with everything in this new stage of your career, now with O'Higgins!
