Club career

River Plate

Avenatti made his professional debut for River Plate on 19 February 2012, in a 2–3 home defeat against Nacional.[1] He scored his first professional goal on 3 June, against Defensor Sporting.[2] He scored 12 goals in 33 games for the River Plate side.

Ternana

On 21 August 2013, Avenatti signed a four-year deal with Italian Serie B side Ternana Calcio[3] for €4 million, signing a four-year contract by his manager Paco Casal (which make him the most expensive purchase in the history of Ternana Calcio). He marked his first goal with rossoverdi in Series B on 17 November 2013 against Pescara. The first season at Ternana he played 25 appearances and 2 goals.

The 2014–2015 season, he scored with a brace at Catanzaro in Italian Cup. In the championship will mark the first day, the network of 2–0 Crotone. After a good start to the season, he scored for Tenana the derby on 22 November 2014 against Perugia, after an incredible assist from fellow Uruguayan César Falletti who had dribbled past 5 players plus the goalkeeper, putting the ball near the goal line for Avenatti to score. He concludes the 2014–15 season in Ternana with 12 goals in 39 games in all competitions.

International career

Avenatti made his international debut on 23 June 2013, in a 0–1 defeat against Croatia. He scored his first goal on 6 July, the only of a 1–0 win against Spain. He finished as a runner up for Uruguay as part of the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
