Jonathan Iván Requena (born 11 June 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder.[1]
Requena's first club was Banfield of Primera B Nacional.[1] He made his professional debut on 2 February 2013 in a 2–2 draw with one of his future clubs in Defensa y Justicia.[1] His next appearance for Banfield came in the Copa Argentina on 13 March, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Central Norte.[1] He netted his first league goal in the following October versus Aldosivi, in a season that ended in promotion to the Argentine Primera División as title winners.[1] He went onto score one goal in twelve games in the top-flight.[1] On 26 January 2016, Requena joined Primera B Metropolitana club Atlanta on loan for six months.[1][2]
In total, he made five appearances in the 2016 Primera B Metropolitana before returning to Banfield.[3][4] On 14 August 2017, Requena joined Primera División team Defensa y Justicia.[1][5] He departed in July 2018 following zero first-team appearances for the club, subsequently signing for Deportes Temuco of the Chilean Primera División.[1] His debut arrived on 26 July in the Copa Sudamericana against San Lorenzo, a match that they ended with a victory but one that was later awarded as a 3–0 defeat as Requena was deemed ineligible.[6] Temuco were relegated later that year, with Requena leaving midway through the next campaign.[1]
In June 2019, Requena switched Chile for Paraguay by agreeing terms with River Plate.[1] After an opening game versus Guaraní on 12 July, Requena scored his first goal for the Asunción club in his second appearance during a 2–2 draw with Sol de América on 21 July.[1]
In November 2020, Requena signed an initial one-year deal to join Valletta FC in Malta's BOV Premier Division.
