Born in Asunción, Alborno started his career with local giants Libertad, joining the club's youth setup in 2007, aged 13. Three years later he was promoted to the first-team squad, and played his first match as a professional on 30 January 2010, starting in a 0–1 loss at Guaraní;[1] roughly a month later he scored his first senior goal, netting his side's only in a 1–1 draw at Sportivo Trinidense.[2]
In April 2011 Alborno agreed a five-year deal with Italian Serie A side Internazionale, with the deal being effective only in August.[3][4] Initially assigned to the reserve squad, he appeared regularly during the NextGen series winning campaign.
On 14 July 2012 Alborno was loaned to Novara with a co-ownership clause at the end of the season;[5] A year later he moved to Cittadella, also on loan.[6]
