Early life

Barone was born in Asunción, Paraguay, to former Uruguayan footballer Deivis Barone, who was playing for Paraguayan side Club Libertad at the time.[1] His sister, Fátima Barone, has gone on to become an international footballer for Uruguay.[2]

Club career

After his family returned to Uruguay, he lived in San Ramón in the Canelones Department, and began his footballing career as a defender for local side Huracán de San Ramón.[1] After joining the academy of professional side River Plate Montevideo, he transitioned to become a centre-forward.[1]

Having made his professional debut for River Plate on 19 February 2023, when he came on as a second-half substitute for Pablo Nicolás López de León in a 0–0 Uruguayan Primera División draw with Racing, Barone would have to wait until an injury crisis at the club in June 2023 to feature again.[1] In his third game for the club, he was named as a starter for the away match against Peñarol. With the score at 1–1, Barone scored from close range following a cross from the left wing provided by Joaquín Lavega.[3] The same two players combined again for River Plate's third goal in their eventual 3–1 win, with Barone scoring from a similar position.[3]
