Club career

Getafe

Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Buendía finished his formation with Getafe CF. On 30 March 2014, still a junior, he made his senior debuts, starting for the reserves in a 2–1 away win against CD Puerta Bonita for the Segunda División B championship.[3] On 13 April he scored his first goal, the first of a 2–0 win at Peña Sport FC.[4]

Buendía started the 2014–15 season still with the B-team and in the third level,[5] notably scoring twice in a 3–0 home success against CF Fuenlabrada.[6] On 5 December 2014 he played his first match as a professional, replacing Ángel Lafita in a 3–0 Copa del Rey win against SD Eibar at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.[7]

Buendía made his La Liga debut on 1 February 2015, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 away loss against UD Almería.[8] He scored his first goal in the category on 27 September, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Levante UD.

On 5 July 2016, despite suffering team relegation, Buendía signed a new five-year deal with the Madrid outskirts side.[9] On 27 July of the following year, he was loaned to fellow second tier club Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, for one year.[10]

Norwich City

On 8 June 2018, Buendía signed a four-year deal with EFL Championship side Norwich City.[11]

He scored his first goal for Norwich in a 1–0 win over Brentford on 27 October 2018, and played an integral role as one of the main creative attacking players in the team - scoring 7 further league goals as the club swept to promotion to the Premier League and the Championship title. Fans subsequently voted him into third place in the annual Player of the Season awards.[12]

International career

On 16 September 2014, Buendía was called up to the Spain under-19s.[13] On 29 April of the following year, he was called up by Argentina under-20s for 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup,[14] and joined the latter's training camp on 5 May 2015.[15]
