Banega played for Unión y Progreso in his youth career from 2002, before departing in 2005 to join Rosario Central.[2] Eleven years later, on 15 May 2016, he made his senior debut with Rosario Central during an Argentine Primera División draw with Quilmes.[1][3] He appeared twice in the following season, 2016–17, prior to leaving the club on loan in July 2017.[1] San Martín temporarily signed Banega for the 2017–18 campaign.[1] His first appearance for San Martín arrived against Estudiantes on 28 October.[1][4]
In April 2019, having terminated his Rosario contract two months early, Banega headed to Chile with Segunda División club A.C. Colina.[5][6] However, months later, Banega returned to Argentina with Central Norte of Torneo Federal A.[1][7] He made one appearance, an eight-minute cameo against Defensores de Pronunciamiento on 5 October, before departing at the end of the year.[1][8]
