In February 2011 Caballero was signed by Malaga from Elche on an emergency loan deal due to a serious knee injury to Sergio Asenjo, with the club’s second-choice custodian Ruben also on the sidelines with physical problems.

Caballero proved to be an able goalkeeper for Malag and on October 1, 2011 created a new Malaga record by keeping a clean sheet for 480 minutes. In January 2012 he signed a contract extension with the Andalucian outfit that will keep him at the club until June 2016.

Caballero has yet to make a appearance for the Argentina national team, but he won the FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2004 Olympic Games in 2004 with the Under-20 team.
