Club career

Lanús

In 2009, Marchesín was signed by Club Atlético Lanús from regional club Huracán de Tres Arroyos. He was a non-playing member of the Lanús squad that won the 2007 Apertura tournament.

On 1 March 2009, Marchesín made his competitive debut in a 2–0 win against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy. On 29 April, he made his first appearance in the Copa Libertadores, a 1–1 draw against Caracas FC. That year, he relegated Mauricio Caranta to the bench and established himself as first-choice goalkeeper, playing in most of Lanús’ games of the Apertura tournament.

In 2013, Marchesín won the Copa Sudamericana with Lanús, starting in both matches of the finals against Ponte Preta of Brazil.[2]

FC Porto

On 31 July 2019, Marchesín moved to Portugal's FC Porto on a four-year deal, for an undisclosed amount reported as €7.2 million. He joined as a replacement for Iker Casillas, who had suffered a heart attack in May.[9] He made his debut on 7 August in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League away to FC Krasnodar in Russia, making a late save from Rémy Cabella.[10]

International career

In September 2014, Marchesín received his first call-up in more than four years when Gerardo Martino called him up to the Argentina squad for the friendly matches against Brazil and Hong Kong, playing against the latter and earning his second cap.[14] He was called up to the Argentina squad for the 2015 Copa América after Mariano Andújar suffered a hand injury midway through the tournament.[15]
