After more than three full seasons with Banfield, Mauro moved abroad, signing a one-year deal with Real Murcia.[3] He made his debut for the club on 21 August 2012, against Córdoba CF.[4] On 24 July of the following year, Mauro renewed his link with the Pimentoneros for a further year,[5] and scored his first professional goal on 29 September, the first of a 2–1 home win against CD Numancia.[6]

On 11 July 2017, Mauro signed a two-year contract with CD Leganés, still in the top tier.[11] On 26 December 2018, he terminated his contract with the club,[12] and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with CD Tenerife in the second division the following 8 January.[13]
