Career

Florentín came through the youth system of River Plate, prior to signing for Argentinos Juniors' ranks in 2016; making the breakthrough into the latter's first-team fold in 2019.[2][3][4] He was initially an unused substitute four times in the Copa Sudamericana, across ties with Deportes Tolima and Colón.[1][5][6] Florentín's professional debut arrived on 3 August 2019 versus Aldosivi, as he came off the bench to replace Nicolás Silva after seventy-three minutes of a goalless away draw.[1][7] Eight more appearances came in 2019–20, which included his first start arriving in a Copa Sudamericana first stage tie with Sport Huancayo on 11 February 2020.[1]

On 8 March 2021, Florentín scored for the first time as he netted a stoppage time winner away to ex-club River Plate in the Copa de la Liga Profesional.[8]

On 2 August 2022, Florentín signed with Russian Premier League club FC Orenburg, where he joined his compatriots Braian Mansilla and Lucas Vera.[9]
