Born in Alejandro Korn, Buenos Aires Province,[2] Escobar was raised in the El Rosedal neighborhood,[3] playing for local sides CDyS El Rosedal and SF JA Castelli before joining the youth sides of Banfield.[2] In 2012, he moved to the youth setup of Temperley.
Temperley
Escobar made his professional – and Primera División – debut on 15 May 2016, starting in a 2–0 home win over Newell's Old Boys.[4] He became a first-choice in the 2016–17 season, as the club again narrowly avoided relegation.
Colón
On 24 January 2018, Escobar signed a contract with Colón also in the top tier,[5] as the club bought 65% of his economic rights for a fee of 10 million pesos (roughly US$ 500,000).[6] He was mainly a first-choice ahead of Alex Vigo during his spell, with the club unsuccessfully attempting to renew his contract in 2020.[7]
Ibiza
On 24 August 2021, Escobar joined newly promoted Segunda División side UD Ibiza on a two-year deal.[8] He scored his first professional goal the following 22 January, netting his side's third in a 5–0 away routing of Málaga CF.[9]
Escobar left Ibiza in June 2023, after the club's relegation.[10]
Fortaleza
On 3 July 2023, Escobar was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Fortaleza on a deal until December 2024.[11] He made his debut for the club on 5 August, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Goiás, but spent the year as a backup to Bruno Pacheco.
In February 2024, Escobar was one of the players injured after supporters of Sport Recife threw rocks and bombs at Fortaleza's bus after a match between both clubs.[12] He suffered traumatic brain injury, and returned to action in the following month.[13]
On 19 April 2024, Santos announced the signing of Escobar on loan until the end of the year, with a subsequent permanent two-year contract already agreed.[14] He made his debut for the club seven days later, starting in a 2–0 Série B away win over Avaí.
Escobar scored his first goal for Peixe on 21 August 2024, netting the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Guarani.[15] He established himself as a starter as the club returned to the top tier as champions, and had his two-year deal activated in January 2025.
