Musso was the third-choice goalkeeper during Racing Club's 2014 Argentine Primera División championship, the team's first title in 13 years. He made his professional debut three years later, on 28 May 2017, in a 2–1 home win against San Lorenzo. He became the team's first-choice keeper during the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División, in which Racing finished in 7th place and qualified for the 2019 Copa Sudamericana.[citation needed]

Udinese edit

In the summer of 2018, he was signed by Serie A side Udinese. Throughout the season, Musso established himself as the undisputed starter and became one of the team's key players. In three seasons, he accumulated a total of 102 appearances in the league.[citation needed]
