On 17 August 2018, Benítez completed a move to Primera B Metropolitana's Deportivo Español.[2][11][12] He didn't appear competitively until May 2019, though would subsequently play two hundred and seventy minutes across fixtures with Justo José de Urquiza, Colegiales and Comunicaciones; as they were relegated to tier four.[2] Benítez spent 2019–20 with Deportivo Laferrere, before moving across Primera C Metropolitana to rejoin Deportivo Merlo in July 2020.[13]
