Argüello returned to Argentina with Olimpo of Primera B Nacional on 15 July 2018, remaining for one season before heading to Sportivo Belgrano.[2] [8] In February 2020, Argüello terminated his contract in order to join a Peruvian team - later revealed to be Santos of the Segunda División.[9] [10] [11] He scored on debut against Cultural Santa Rosa on 27 October, which preceded further goals against Deportivo Coopsol, Alianza Atlético, Unión Huaral and Chavelines Juniors as they placed second bottom of a ten-team division.[2] In January 2021, Argüello made a return to the Bolivian Primera División with Real Santa Cruz.[12]
