Club career

Nacional

Born in Maldonado, Bueno was a Nacional youth graduate. He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 4 June 2011, in a 2–0 home loss against Rampla Juniors.

Bueno scored his first professional goal in his second appearance for the main squad on 18 September 2011, netting his team's second in a 4–0 home routing of Cerro Largo. He subsequently became a regular starter for the side.

Kuban Krasnodar

On 22 August 2013, Bueno signed for Russia's FC Kuban Krasnodar on a long-term contract.[4] On 25 December 2014, after being rarely used and struggling with injuries, he was loaned to former club Nacional for six months.[5]

On 29 August 2015, Bueno joined Primeira Liga side C.F. União also in a temporary deal,[6] but the loan was cut short in December after only two appearances.[7]

Back to South America

Bueno signed for Colombian side Patriotas Boyacá in late 2015, being immediately loaned to Estudiantes de la Plata for 18 months.[8] In the following campaigns, he represented Defensor Sporting, Nacional and Colón, always in temporary deals.[9]

Almería

On 22 July 2019, free agent Bueno signed a two-year contract with Segunda División side UD Almería, with an option for a third.[10] He revoked his contract on 27 August 2019 following a change in the club's ownership and managerial staff.[11]

Personal life

Bueno's father Gustavo and cousins Gastón and Santiago have also played football professionally. Gustavo has most recently acted as manager of Sud América, while Gastón and Santi play for Montevideo Wanderers and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively.[12]
