Club career
Chacarita Juniors
Born in Buenos Aires, Rossi represented Chacarita Juniors as a youth. He made his first team debut on 2 April 2014, starting in a 1–3 away loss against Instituto, for the season's Copa Argentina.
Estudiantes de La Plata
Rossi moved to Estudiantes on 25 December 2014.[2] He made his Primera División debut the following 18 April, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Rosario Central.
Defensa y Justicia (loan)
On 24 July 2016, Rossi was loaned to fellow top-tier club Defensa y Justicia.[3]
Boca Juniors
On 1 February 2017, Rossi was transferred to Boca Juniors for €1.17m.[4]
Al Nassr (loan)
On 21 January 2023, Rossi moved to Saudi Professional League club Al Nassr on a six-month loan until 30 June 2023 as Boca Juniors decided not to use the player anymore until the end of his contract.[5][6] At the Saudi club Rossi covered the injured David Ospina.
Flamengo
On 9 January 2023 Flamengo announced a contract being signed with Rossi from 1 July 2023 until 31 December 2027 as the current deal with Boca Juniors ran out in the end of June.[7] He was officially presented by Flamengo on 1 July 2023,[8] becoming Flamengo's first non-Brazilian goalkeeper since fellow Argentine Ubaldo Fillol in 1985. Rossi couldn't manage to broke into the first team with head coach Jorge Sampaoli until the second leg of the 2023 Copa do Brasil finals on 24 September 2023. Ironically this was the last match of the Argentine head coach before being fired. With the arrival of the next head coach Tite, Rossi instantly became the main goalkeeper. He finished the 2023 season with a total of 8 clean sheets in 16 matches, including all competitions.
Rossi broke Flamengo's record of most clean sheets in a row including all competitions with 11 from 31 January 2024 to 30 March 2024.[9]
In the night of 8 May 2025 Rossi's car was shot at in an attempted robbery when he was returning home from Galeão Airport after a Copa Libertadores match against Central Córdoba in Argentina. He was not injured as his car was armored.[10] Despite the scary moment, Rossi later said he had no intention of leaving Flamengo or Rio de Janeiro: "These are things that can happen here or in Argentina."[11]
Currently Rossi is applying for Brazilian citizenship. If successful, he could start playing for the Brazilian national football team in 2028.[12]
