Lobato spent six months with Brazilian side
Madureira before heading to Argentina. He initially spent time with
All Boys of
Primera B Nacional, though was unable to remain due to contractual issues. At the age of sixteen, Lobato joined
Vélez Sarsfield; via a trial that his
El Fortín-supporting uncle had set up, with the help of the latter's brother-in-law Alejandro Chiossi who worked for them. It was Lobato's second trial with Vélez, following one he had aged ten. In November 2020, Lobato signed his first professional contract. Lobato was moved into Mauricio Pellegrino's senior squad for the first time on 17 February 2021, as the winger made the bench for a
Copa Argentina round of sixty-four encounter with Deportivo Camioneros of
Torneo Federal A. With the scoreline at 3–1 to Vélez, Lobato was substituted on in place of
Cristian Tarragona for the final seven minutes of the victory at the
Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona; he picked up a late yellow card. ==International career==
