Club career

Klimowicz trained with Borussia Dortmund's academy at a young age, while his father was playing in Germany.[3] He later joined Instituto's ranks.[2][4] He appeared professionally twice at the back end of the 2016–17 season in Primera B Nacional, participating in fixtures with Juventud Unida, aged sixteen, and Nueva Chicago as they secured sixth.[2][5] Klimowicz's first senior goal arrived on 14 October 2017 during a 1–1 home draw with Aldosivi.[2][6]

On 10 May 2019, VfB Stuttgart announced the signing of Klimowicz ahead of the 2019–20 season; with the midfielder signing a five-year contract.[7] He made his bow as a late substitute in a 2.

Klimowicz is eligible to play for Argentina, Germany or - with the obtainment of citizenship - Poland at international level.[3][9][10] He received call-ups to train with Argentina at U15, U17 and U20 level.[3][11]

On 15 March 2021, Klimowicz was called up for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship group stages by Germany; he holds a German passport due to his father's career in German football.[9][12]
