Club career
Early career
Born in Córdoba, Panichelli began his career with local side Racing de Córdoba, and subsequently represented Belgrano and Atalaya de Córdoba also in his hometown.[1] In February 2020, after a failed trial at Boca Juniors, he signed for River Plate.[2]
Playing in Spain
On 13 January 2023, Panichelli moved abroad and signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Spanish Segunda División side Deportivo Alavés, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[3] He made his professional first team debut on 5 May, coming on as a late substitute for Miguel de la Fuente in a 1–1 home draw against Granada CF.[4]
After suffering a knee injury,[5] Panichelli made his La Liga debut on 3 February 2024, replacing Samu Omorodion late into a 3–1 home loss against FC Barcelona.[6]
On 19 August 2024, Panichelli moved to CD Mirandés in the Segunda División on loan for the 2024–25 season.[7] On his club debut on 24 August 2024, Panichelli scored the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Málaga CF, which was also his first professional goal. He ended the season with 21 goals overall, being the club's top scorer as they almost missed out promotion in the play-offs.[8]
Strasbourg
On 27 July 2025, Panichelli joined French club Strasbourg.[9] A month later, on 17 August, he scored a goal on his debut in a 1–0 away win over Metz.[10] In March 2026, he suffered his second ACL injury in two years during an international training session, ruling him out for the remainder of the season after he had already established himself as his club's top scorer with 16 goals in Ligue 1.[11]
International career
On 15 November 2025, Panichelli debuted for the Argentina national team in a 2–0 friendly victory against Angola.[12]
