Club career
Born in Madrid, Conde joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2007.[2] Promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2017–18 season, he made his senior debut on 19 November 2017 by starting in a 3–0 Segunda División B away loss against Deportivo Fabril.
After spending the season as a backup to Miguel San Román, Conde renewed his contract until 2021 on 1 July 2018,[3] and was loaned to fellow third division side CDA Navalcarnero seventeen days later.[4] Upon returning, he was assigned back to the B-team.
On 28 August 2020, Conde was loaned to Segunda División side CD Leganés, for one year.[5] He made his professional debut on 20 September, starting in a 2–1 away loss against CD Lugo.[6]
In July 2021, Conde joined La Liga side Getafe CF, initially as a third-choice behind Rubén Yáñez and David Soria.[7] He made his top tier debut on 4 February 2022, coming on as a late substitute for the latter in a 3–0 home win over Levante UD.[8]
After being again a third-choice behind Soria and Kiko Casilla during the 2022–23 campaign, Conde returned to Lega on 16 June 2023, signing a permanent two-year contract.[9] An undisputed starter, he won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy after conceding only 27 goals during the entire season as his side achieved promotion as champions.
On 2 July 2024, Conde signed a five-year contract with Villarreal CF in the top tier.[10] In a league game against Sevilla on 23 August, Conde made a double save to deny Saúl and Isaac Romero, which would later win the inaugural La Liga Save of the Month award for August.[11][12] On 9 November, Conde made a close-range stop to keep out Kike García's header in a match against Alavés that earned him the second accolade for November. By achieving the honour, he became the first player to have won the award twice.[13][14]
