Club career

Born in Pirapó, Clar began his career with Club Olimpia and was promoted to the first team in 2013. [1] He made his professional debut in a 2–1 Paraguayan Primera División loss to Club Sol de América on 28 July 2013. [2]

Despite being a regular starter in the 2014 season, Clar lost space in the following year, and subsequently served loans at Rubio Ñu, General Díaz [3] and Sportivo Luqueño [4] He subsequently signed a permanent deal with the latter for the 2017 season, before returning to General Díaz later in that year and then signing for Independiente FBC in 2018.

On 27 December 2018, Clar agreed to a deal with Sol de América. [5] On 24 July 2019, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Portuguese side Boavista on a one-year loan with an option to buy. [6]

Clar returned to his home country in December 2019, after failing to make an appearance, and joined Guaraní. [7] He left the club in October to sign for Nacional Asunción, [8] and later moved to Uruguayan side River Plate Montevideo on 30 March 2022. [9]

On 6 February 2023, Clar returned to Guaraní. [10] Sparingly used, he moved to Tacuary later in that year, before signing a one-and-a-half-year contract with Série B side Chapecoense on 27 August 2024. [11]

On 13 August 2025, after becoming an undisputed first-choice at Chape, Clar renewed his link until November 2026. [12]
