He signed his first professional contract in January 2019.
On 22 January 2020, Magnin signed a contract extension with Clermont until 2023. He scored his first professional goal on 7 February against Valenciennes in a 3–1 win. As a starter in the Clermont midfield during this 2019–20 season, he was voted into the Ligue 2 Team of the Season by France Football.
During the 2020–21 season, he contributed to the club's historic promotion to Ligue 1, as Clermont rose to the top division of French football for the first time ever. However, he was sidelined by an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee in April 2021, ending his season and keeping him out of action for several months.
He returned to team practice in August 2021, having been out for several months due to his knee injury. On 1 December 2021, Magnin scored his first goal in Ligue 1, during his first tenure in the top flight, against Lens. He scored the equalizing goal with a header in a 2–2 draw.
