On 2 August 2024, Cinquegrano made his first professional move, joining Serie C club Rimini on a season-long loan. During his tenure with the club, he helped the team to secure their first historic Coppa Italia Serie C title.

On 30 July 2025, Cinquegrano signed with Inter Milan U23, Inter Milan’s newly established reserve team, joining on a season-long loan with the option to make the transfer permanent.

Born in Italy, he holds dual citizenship due to his Argentine heritage.
