On 19 August 2024, Panichelli was loaned to CD Mirandés in the Segunda División for the season. On his club debut on 24 August 2024, Panichelli scored the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Málaga CF; it was also his first professional goal. He ended the season with 21 goals overall, being the club's top scorer as they narrowly missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 27 July 2025, Panichelli joined French side Strasbourg.

Panichelli's father Germán was also a footballer and a forward.
