Career

Melo started his career in 2013 with Nueva Chicago, appearing on the club's substitutes bench for their final Primera B Nacional fixture of 2012–13 against Ferro Carril Oeste.[1] He made his professional debut in the following season in Primera B Metropolitana, playing eighty-three minutes in a 1–1 draw with Atlanta on 4 August.[1] Melo scored the first goal of his career in February 2014 versus Deportivo Armenio.[1] He scored two further goals in twenty-six overall appearances as Nueva Chicago won the 2013–14 title.[1] He scored in his first Primera B Nacional game, in a 3–1 win over Guaraní Antonio Franco on 16 August.[1]

He made nine appearances in the second tier in 2014, prior to joining Argentine Primera División side San Lorenzo in December.[1][2] In February 2015, Melo joined fellow Primera División team Sarmiento on loan.[3] His top-flight debut came in a goalless draw with Gimnasia y Esgrima on 11 May.[1] He returned to San Lorenzo after just four games for Sarmiento.[4][5] January 2016 saw Melo rejoin Nueva Chicago on a loan deal.[1][6] He played a total of fifty-six matches and scored twelve goals across the 2016 and 2016–17 seasons.[1] On 3 July 2017, Melo joined Atlético Tucumán for his third loan away from San Lorenzo.[7]

He made his Atlético Tucumán debut in October in the Copa Argentina against former club Sarmiento, scoring the fourth goal in a 4–0 victory.[1] Melo achieved his 100th career league appearance on 4 December versus Colón.[1] On 25 July 2018, Gimnasia y Esgrima completed the loan signing of Melo.[8] Four days later, he made his first appearance as his new club eliminated Olimpo from the Copa Argentina on 29 July.[1]
