In January 2019, Gómez joined fellow top-flight side Argentinos Juniors on loan.[1][7] He scored his first senior goal on 18 February against Estudiantes.[1] Twelve months after arriving, in January 2020, Argentinos purchased Gómez permanently as the defender signed a three-and-a-half-year contract.[8]
