Monzón signed for Vélez Sarsfield in 2015, going on to score over forty goals in their academy.[6][7] Mauricio Pellegrino promoted the centre-forward into his first-team squad in 2020, as he made his senior debut on 28 October in a Copa Sudamericana second stage first leg draw at home to Peñarol; he replaced Pablo Galdames for the final moments.[5][8] He went unused on the substitute's bench seven times across the next month or so, prior to making his bow domestically off the bench on 5 December in the Copa de la Liga Profesional versus Patronato.[5] Monzón's first goal arrived on 16 January 2021 versus Rosario Central.[5] In July 2021, Monzón joined Platense on a loan for the rest of the year.[9] On 26 January 2022, Monzón was loaned out again, this time to Almirante Brown until the end of 2022.[10]
On 7 August 2026, Monzón was transferred to the Mexican club Atlas.[11]
