## Career

Requena's first club was Banfield of Primera B Nacional. He made his professional debut on 2 February 2013 in a 2–2 draw with one of his future clubs in Defensa y Justicia. His next appearance for Banfield came in the Copa Argentina on 13 March, he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Central Norte. He netted his first league goal in the following October versus Aldosivi, in a season that ended in promotion to the Argentine Primera División as title winners. He went onto score one goal in twelve games in the top-flight. On 26 January 2016, Requena joined Primera B Metropolitana club Atlanta on loan for six months.

In total, he made five appearances in the 2016 Primera B Metropolitana before returning to Banfield. On 14 August 2017, Requena joined Primera División team Defensa y Justicia. He departed in July 2018 following zero first-team appearances for the club, subsequently signing for Deportes Temuco of the Chilean Primera División. His debut arrived on 26 July in the Copa Sudamericana against San Lorenzo, a match that they ended with a victory but one that was later awarded as a 3–0 defeat as Requena was deemed ineligible. Temuco were relegated later that year, with Requena leaving midway through the next campaign.
