In July 2011, Torsiglieri joined FC Metalist Kharkiv on loan,[7] and in December he signed a permanent five-year deal with the Ukrainians.[8] On 3 August 2013, in the same predicament,[clarification needed] he moved teams and countries again, signing a one-year deal with La Liga side UD Almería.[9]
After spells playing for Boca Juniors, Monarcas Morelia, Rosario Central and Racing Club de Avellaneda, Torsiglieri returned to Vélez – his first professional team – for the second half of the 2017–18 season.[10]
