editBorn in Atlántida, Gutiérrez joined Danubio in 2015, aged 13.[1] On 16 May 2018, he made his first team – and Primera División – debut, coming on as a late substitute for Nicolás Prieto in a 0–2 home loss against Montevideo Wanderers;[2] aged 16 years, three months and 12 days, he became the youngest player to debut for the club in the 21st century.[1]
Gutiérrez scored his first professional goal on 25 August 2019, netting his team's only in a 1–3 defeat at Defensor Sporting.[3] He only scored one further goal for the first team, against Montevideo City Torque, before leaving in September 2020.[4]
Almería
editOn 13 September 2020, UD Almería reached an agreement in principle with Danubio for the transfer of Gutiérrez.[5] He was announced by his new club two days later, after agreeing to a five-year contract.[6]
Gutiérrez featured almost exclusively for the reserves in Tercera División, and moved back to his home country on 27 August 2021, after agreeing to a two-year loan deal with Nacional.[7] On 21 July 2023, after being rarely used, he joined Boston River on loan for one year.[8]
