He played for Pachuca and Tijuana, but it was at Pumas that he found the best moment of his career. Iturbe's last club was Aris-GRE (Disclosure/Aris) Luan, Soteldo, Nikão...

At the beginning of 2021, he agreed with Aris, from the first division in Greece. However, there he had his ups and downs, playing 78 games, 41 as a starter, and scoring just eight goals in three seasons. National team history At the base, Iturbe played for the Argentine national team, and also competed in the U20 World Cup and two South American championships. In one of them, he scored a great goal that guaranteed victory against Brazil, in 2011. At that time, the Brazilian team had names like Neymar, Casemiro and Oscar in the squad. With a lot of competition in the Argentine attack, Iturbe started to defend the team of Paraguay, the country of his parents. His first call-up to the national team was in 2016. However, it didn't work out as expected. To date, he has not scored a goal for Paraguay and has not played for the national team since 2019.
