Rosario Central
Lovera joined the Rosario Central senior squad for the 2016 Argentine Primera División season, making his professional debut on 2 May 2016 during a loss to Gimnasia y Esgrima.[1][2] He made one further appearance during 2016, versus Quilmes on 15 May.[1][3] In his first match of 2016–17, in December, Lovera netted the first goal of his career in a defeat against Lanús.[1] He ended that season with two goals in sixteen fixtures.[1][4]
Olympiacos
On 31 August 2019, after three goals in sixty-nine matches, Lovera left Rosario Central for Super League Greece side Olympiacos; for a reported initial fee of €3.3 million.[5][6] His first appearance came against Lamia on 28 September.[7] He netted two goals in a round of sixteen victory over Kalamata on 15 January 2020 in the Greek Cup; the final for which, in August, was postponed due to Lovera's positive COVID-19 test.[1] After featuring in a cup match against Panetolikos on 20 January 2021, Lovera departed on loan.[1]
Racing Club loan
In early February 2021, Racing Club completed the loan signing of Lovera; until the succeeding December.[8]
AC Omonia loan
On 31 January 2022, in the last day of winter transfer window, Omonia completed the loan signing of Lovera, until the summer of 2022.
Rosario Central
After a year on loan from Olympiacos, he made a permanent move to the club in August 2024.
In July 2017, Lovera was selected for Argentina U20 training.[9] He was again chosen by the U20s in the following May, to train with the senior squad at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[10][11] In October 2018, Lovera played and scored for the U20s in a friendly with Ecuador.[6][12]
In August 2020, it was announced that Lovera had tested positive for COVID-19; amid the pandemic.[13] This caused the 2019–20 Greek Cup final, which Olympiacos later won, to be postponed.[13]
