Raised at Newell’s Old Boys, Barrenechea joined Sion in the summer of 2019; Juventus bought him from the Swiss team in January 2020 and Enzo became an integral part of the Primavera squad first and then of the Next Gen squad, where he stood out with 47 appearances and 3 goals in the three seasons he played. In the 2022/2023 season, he was added to the First Team group, making his debut in the Champions League against PSG on 2 November 2022, an appearance to which he added 3 matches played in Serie A with the shirt juventina.
