Club career
Early career
Aguirre, born and raised in Montevideo, started playing football at a young age. At twelve, he joined Liverpool Montevideo, where he signed his first contract and began his professional career.
He made his debut in 2011, playing three matches in the Apertura Tournament. He gradually earned more playing time, scoring his first goal in the 2012 Copa Sudamericana against Envigado.
Europe
In April 2014, Udinese paid around €4 million for the 19-year-old striker on a five-year contract.[1] He was loaned to Empoli for the 2014-15 Serie A season, where injuries limited him to two appearances. Back at Udinese, he struggled for playing time, scoring only one goal. In 2016, he was loaned to Perugia (Serie B) and later to Lugano (Swiss Super League).
Return to South America
In January 2017, he joined Nacional on a six-month loan, where he rediscovered his form.[2] His loan was extended, and in July he scored the winning goal in the Torneo Intermedio final against Defensor Sporting. A meniscus injury ended his year, and his loan expired on December 31.
In January 2018, Aguirre joined Botafogo on loan.[3] After fifteen scoreless games, he scored his only goal for the club against Sport Recife. He was named to ESPN Brasil's "Bola de Tata" (worst performers) for the Brasileirão. His loan was terminated in January 2019.
Shortly after leaving Botafogo, he signed with LDU Quito, where he went on to capture the Copa Ecuador and the Supercopa de Ecuador.[4]
Mexico
In January 2021, Aguirre moved to Mexico to join Necaxa on loan.[5] His performances earned him a permanent move to Monterrey in June 2022.[6] Two years later, he signed with Club América, where he secured his first title in Mexican football, the Apertura 2024 championship.[7] In February 2026, Aguirre was transferred to UANL.[8]
