Mauri made his debut for Parma as a substitute on 3 December 2013 in the fourth round of the Coppa Italia, replacing Gianni Munari for the last 27 minutes of a 4–1 home win against A.S. Varese 1910 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.[2]
On 11 April 2015, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win against Juventus, with his team in last position and the opponents leading the league.[3] He described it as "the happiest day of my life".[4]
At the start of the 2015–16 season, Mauri joined Milan on a four-year deal on a free transfer.[5] However, Milan also paid €4 million to unknown parties.[6] Mauri made his first full debut on 1 December, playing 99 minutes of a Coppa Italia game against Crotone, with Milan winning 3–1 after extra time. He made his Serie A debut for Milan against Chievo Verona on 13 March 2016, playing the last five minutes of the 0–0 away draw.
On 30 August 2016, he was loaned out to Serie A club Empoli for the season.[7]
On 27 September 2019, he moved to Argentine Primera División side Talleres de Córdoba.[8]
On 5 August 2021, Mauri signed with MLS side Sporting Kansas City on a one-and-a-half year deal.[9] In April 2022, the club mutually agreed to terminate contract of Mauri.[10]
As one of his grandmothers was Italian, Mauri is eligible for both Argentina and Italy. Despite playing for Italy's youth international squads, Mauri declined a call-up to the Italian U20 squad, declaring his desire to represent solely Argentina in international competition.
His older brother Juan Mauri is also a football player and signed with Milan at the same time as José did.
