Club career
Born in Cuenca as his father was representing Deportivo Cuenca, Gazzaniga moved to Spain in 2007,[1] joining UD Almería's youth setup.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 9 October 2011, starting in a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against CD Badajoz.
Gazzaniga subsequently became a regular starter for Almería's B-side before leaving the club on 21 June 2017 and signing for fellow third division side CD El Ejido.[3] On 9 July of the following year, he moved to SD Ponferradina in the same category.[4]
Gazzaniga contributed with 20 appearances during the 2018–19 season, as his side returned to Segunda División after three years. On 15 July 2019, he renewed his contract with Ponfe.[5] Initially a third-choice behind José Antonio Caro and Manu García, he made his professional debut on 14 January 2020 by starting in a 0–1 away loss against Málaga CF.[6]
On 15 June 2021, free agent Gazzaniga signed for Primera División RFEF side Racing de Ferrol.[7] He was a first-choice as the club achieved promotion to the second division, but spent the 2023–24 season as a backup to Ander Cantero.
On 28 June 2024, Gazzaniga agreed to a deal with Real Murcia CF in the third division.[8] On 9 June 2026, after two seasons as a starter, he moved to fellow league team SD Huesca.[9]
