Career
Born in Adolfo Gonzales Chaves, Auzmendi played for hometown side CD Independencia and Quilmes before moving to Uruguay in February 2019, joining Plaza Colonia.[1] On 2 August of that year, he was announced at Portuguese side FC Porto on loan, initially for their under-19 team.[2]
Back from his loan in July 2020, Auzmendi signed for Gimnasia La Plata in January 2021,[3] but only played for their reserve team. Ahead of the 2022 season, he agreed to a deal with San Marcos de Arica in the Segunda División Profesional de Chile, and helped the club to achieve promotion as champions.[4]
On 30 January 2024, Auzmendi switched teams and countries again, after agreeing to a one-year contract with Motagua in Honduras.[5] In the 2024–25 season, he scored a career-best 19 goals, also helping the club to lift the Apertura tournament.
On 3 June 2025, Auzmendi returned to his home country after being announced at Banfield; he signed an 18-month contract, after the club activated his release clause.[6] On his club – and Liga Profesional – debut on 20 July, he scored and provided an assist in a 2–1 away win over Newell's Old Boys.[7]
In March 2026, Auzmendi moved to San Lorenzo on loan from Liga MX side Querétaro; the Mexican side obtained his economic rights on a free transfer, in exchange of the settlement of Banfield's debt with Querétaro for the transfer of Martín Río, but as Querétaro had no foreign spots available, he was loaned to Ciclón until December.[8]
