Figal made five more appearances in all competitions in his first season with the club as they were promoted into the Primera División. His top division debut came on 10 August 2014 in a 3–0 home victory versus Atlético de Rafaela. Eighteen more appearances came in the rest of 2014 and in the following season, 2015, before he was loaned out to Primera División club Olimpo in February 2016.

International career In August 2019, Figal received a senior call-up from Lionel Scaloni for friendlies in the succeeding September against Chile and Mexico in the United States.

Personal life On 14 September 2017, Figal was banned from football for nine months after failing a drugs test, testing positive for diuretic. The ban was backdated, meaning he was unavailable for selection until 4 January 2018; six months after the announcement. 2017–18
