Career

[edit]

Vera started his career with Lanús.[1][2] He was moved into the club's first-team in September 2017, with manager Jorge Almirón selecting him to start in a home defeat to Boca Juniors; he was substituted off on fifty-five minutes for Lautaro Acosta.[1] He played a part in three further fixtures in the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División campaign.[1] On 23 August 2018, a month after featuring in the Copa Sudamericana for Lanús versus Atlético Junior, Vera was loaned by Primera B Metropolitana club All Boys.[1][3][4]

On 21 July 2022, Vera joined Russian Premier League club Orenburg.[5] Orenburg's director of sports Dmitri Andreyev confirmed that the transfer was permanent, not a loan as it was reported.[6]

On 11 July 2024, Vera moved to Khimki.[7]
