Club career
Real Madrid
A native of Pinto, Spain,[2] Gutiérrez started out at the academy of Getafe before joining Real Madrid in 2011. In July 2017 the then Manchester United coach José Mourinho was interested in the signing of the young Spaniard, but the 16-year-old eventually decided to stay at Real Madrid.[3][4][5]
During the summer of 2019, Gutiérrez was propelled into the first team by coach Zinedine Zidane to participate in the Audi Cup, following the injury of newcomer Ferland Mendy. He then was the first player from a Real Madrid training center born in 2001 to join the first team.[6]
He made his professional debut for Real Madrid on 21 April 2021, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 win over Cádiz.[7][8] His first start came on 15 May 2021, in a 4–1 victory at Granada.[9]
Girona
On 5 August 2022, Gutiérrez signed for Girona on a contract until 30 June 2027,[10][11] with Real Madrid retaining 50% of his rights and a sell-on clause.[12] He made his debut for the club on the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, replacing Valery in the 61st minute of a 1–0 away loss to Valencia.[13] On 4 March 2023, Gutiérrez scored his first goal for Girona in a 3–2 league loss to his former club Getafe.[14] On 11 December 2023, Gutiérrez scored against Barcelona in a 4–2 away victory, Girona's first ever victory against Barcelona.[15]
Napoli
On 19 August 2025, Gutiérrez joined Serie A club Napoli, signing a five-year contract for a reported fee of €20,000,000.[16]
International career
Gutiérrez represented Spain at the under-19 level for the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Armenia, in which Spain became the winners.[17]
In 2024, Gutiérrez was included in the Spain U23 squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[18] He scored a goal in the Group C match against the Dominican Republic,[19] and later won the gold medal.[20]
