[edit] Club career
Fuentes began his career playing for Newell's Old Boys in 1996, leaving the following year for Quilmes Atlético Club on loan, in the Argentine second division, before rejoining Newell's in 1998.
In 2001, Fuentes was signed for his first spell at Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield on a US$450,000 fee (for 50% of his transfer rights).[1] In January 2003, he was sold to Mexican club Querétaro F.C. for US$1,200,000.[2] In the transfer agreement, it was established that the player would stay with Vélez until the end of the season.[2]
However, after a good end of season as Vélez's captain, Fuentes' value increased, and he was immediately sold by Querétaro to French club En Avant Guingamp for US$2,000,000, before having playing any official game in Mexico.[3] After half a season in France, he returned to Vélez, helping the club win the league's Clausura in 2005. Following this success, he was signed by Mexican side F.C. Atlas, but he only stayed one season before moving again, this time to Villarreal CF in Spain.
At Villarreal, Fuentes re-joined former Vélez teammate Leandro Somoza, and fellow Argentines Juan Román Riquelme, Rodolfo Arruabarrena, Mariano Barbosa and Gonzalo Rodríguez. During his first season, he benefited from a serious knee injury to the latter and scored four times in 33 La Liga contests. The following seasons, however, he returned to the bench, but continued to be used regularly, even though he also suffered serious knee problems in January 2008.[4]
On 4 January 2010, Fuentes was released by Villarreal upon the player's request, signing with Atlas, thus returning to the club after three 1/2 years.[5]
[edit] International career
Fuentes played once for Argentina, in 2005, in a friendly against Mexico, a match in which the former only fielded players from the domestic league. He opened the score (in his own net), in an eventual 1–1 draw.
