Club Career

America

Lainez was recruited by scout Angel Gonzalez along with his brother Mauro. Mauro decided to join Pachuca's academy, while Diego opted to join Club America.

On 1 March 2017, Lainez made his competitive debut with America in the Copa MX group stage match against Santos Laguna. Three days later, he made his league debut against Leon, becoming one of the club's youngest players to debut for the first team at 16 years old. On 19 March, after a lineup error that ruled out Gerson Torres from being eligible to play, Lainez was assigned to start against Club Universidad Nacional.

On 4 August 2018, Lainez scored his first two goals for America in a 3–1 win over Pachuca at Estadio Hidalgo; he became the youngest player to score a double with the club, and the fifth youngest to score a goal in the club's history.
