Estudiantes

Pellegrini began with Estudiantes, who signed him from CRIM de Magdalena.[3][4][5] He was moved into the senior squad under manager Leandro Benítez during 2018–19, who selected him for his professional debut in a Copa Argentina tie with Central Córdoba on 24 July 2018.[1][6] After featuring in the 2018 Copa Libertadores versus Grêmio, Pellegrini made his first appearance in the Primera División on 12 August during a defeat to Godoy Cruz.[1][7] In his next match a week later, also in the league, he scored the first senior goal in a 2–0 victory over Boca Juniors.[1] Overall, Pellegrini ended his first campaign with four goals in twenty-three fixtures.[1]

Inter Miami

On 23 July 2019, Pellegrini agreed a transfer to Major League Soccer's Inter Miami.[8] However, the left midfielder was loaned back to Estudiantes until January 2020; when his new club officially enters MLS.[9] The fee was quoted as being "between $6 million and $9 million".[10]

International career

Pellegrini was called up to train with the Argentina U17s in November 2016.[11] Two years later, in 2018, he was selected by the U20s.[12]
