Musso trained at the academy of Club de Regatas San Nicolas, before going on loan to Defensores de Belgrano de Villa Ramallo, with which he won the local championship at the age of 16. In the final, he saved three out of five penalties in the shoot-out.

Racing Club

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.

Udinese

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.

Atalanta

On 2 July 2021, Musso was signed by Atalanta.[1][2]

International career

Musso was born in Argentina and is of Italian descent, and holds both passports.[3] He was part of the Argentina under-20 squad for the friendly tournament Four Nations match at La Serena, Chile in preparation for the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship.

He made his debut for the Argentina national football team on 26 March 2019 in a friendly against Morocco, as a 67th-minute substitute for Esteban Andrada.[4] On 14 June 2019, he received a late call-up for the 2019 Copa América to replace the injured Andrada.[5]
