Club career

[edit | edit source]

Batalla is product of the River Plate academy, which he joined as a five-year old.[2] In 2015, River Plate accepted a loan offer from La Liga side Real Madrid for Batalla with the option of a permanent move.[3] However, Batalla turned down the move to Real Madrid for personal reasons.[4]

He made his first-team debut in 2016 and was promoted by Manager Marcelo Gallardo as first-choice goalkeeper after Marcelo Barovero left the club.[2][5] Batalla remained as the club's first choice goalkeeper, initially impressing, winning the 2015–16 Copa Argentina[6] and the 2016 Recopa Sudamericana titles,[7] before losing his place after errors and the signing of German Lux in June 2017.[8]

After falling further down the pecking order after the signing of Argentina goalkeeper Franco Armani in January 2018.[9] On 5 January 2018, Batalla signed a one-year loan deal with fellow Argentine Primera División side Atlético Tucumán.[10] After impressing and helping the club progress in the Copa Libertadores,[11] On 25 June, Batalla announced on his social media he would be leaving Atlético Tucumán from his loan spell early.[12]

On 3 January 2024, Batalla joined Spanish La Liga club Granada on loan for the remainder of the season, with the option to make the move permanent.[13] On 23 August, after suffering relegation, he moved to fellow league team Rayo Vallecano also in a temporary deal.[14]

On 20 March 2025, Rayo bought Batalla permanently, with the player agreeing to a contract until 2030.[15]

International career

He has represented Argentina at various youth levels, including winning South American Under-17 Football Championship in 2013 for the Argentina U17 's where he won the Best goalkeeper of the South American Under-17 Football Championship's[4] and he also won the South American Youth Football Championship for the Argentina U20 in 2015.[4]
