Club career

Born in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, Weckmann was raised in Tijuana, [2] and began his career in the academy of Club Tijuana at the age of twelve in 2017. [3] [4] On 17 February 2022, having trained with the club's under-18 side and travelled to the United States to relax, he returned to Mexico after receiving a call from coaches informing him that he may make his debut the following day. [2] He made his debut in the 1–1 draw with Club Necaxa on 18 February, coming on as a late substitute for Facundo Ferreyra. [2] [5]

Having not featured for the club in the following season, he terminated his contract before the start of the Clausura 2023, travelling to Europe to trial with Portuguese club Porto.
