The goal-scoring explosion that led him to the national team After a serious injury that kept him away from the pitch, Panichelli was loaned to C.D. Mirandés of the Spanish Segunda División for the 2024/25 season. It was there that he fully unleashed his potential: he became the team's top scorer with 21 goals and 8 assists in 44 matches, becoming one of the league's great revelations and leading the humble team to the promotion playoff final. His spectacular season caught the attention of Ligue 1.
Curiously, in February 2020, after training for a month at Boca Juniors without reaching an agreement, his move to River Plate's youth academy was officially finalized.

His great performance led him to be called up by Marcelo Gallardo to the first team once, for a match against Talleres de Córdoba on September 24, 2022. However, Panichelli never officially debuted with the River shirt.
