Quagliata was one of the youngest players at Defensor and between the ages of 12 and 13, following the prescription of an endocrinologist, he underwent growth hormone treatment, the same procedure as Lionel Messi had gone through when he was in training at Newell's Old Boys and one of the reasons why he emigrated to Barcelona.[2]
Quagliata graduated from Montevideo Wanderers B, and made his debut on 12 May 2019 in a match against C.A. Cerro, for the year's Primera División. In 2020, the bohemian DT became Mauricio Larriera who did not call him for the first three games of the Apertura after which the tournament was paralyzed for five months due to the coronavirus pandemic. In August, when football returned, he entered the team's rotation, although Larriera's cycle ended with the Apertura. Since Intermediate 2021, Wanderers is directed by Daniel Carreño. His name sounded like a possible reinforcement of Nacional, where his father is a technical assistant, and in Peñarol, where Larriera knows him first-hand.

Hand in hand with the talent of Quagliata, he will try it in this Apertura 2022. As a right-handed midfielder who plays on the left, Quagliata admires and looks up to Philippe Coutinho and Giorgian De Arrascaeta a lot.
Οn 3 June 2022, Quagliata signed a four-year contract with Greek club PAOK.[3]
