Malanca switched Club Leonardo Murialdo for Independiente Rivadavia in 2015.[3] He signed his first professional contract at the age of sixteen on 9 October 2019, becoming the youngest ever player to do so for the club.[4][5] In the succeeding February, Malanca appeared on the first-team's subs bench for a Primera B Nacional fixture away to Ferro Carril Oeste; though wasn't substituted on by manager Matías Minich.[2] The latter was replaced by Marcelo Straccia midway through the year, with the new coach selecting Malanca to start for his senior debut, aged seventeen, on 3 January 2021 against Alvarado.[2]
In October 2020, Malanca and two other teammates showed possible symptoms of COVID-19 amid the pandemic.[6] They were separated from the main squad, with a player testing positive soon after; though their identity wasn't revealed by Independiente Rivadavia.[6]
