Club career
Born in Zaragoza, Guti joined Real Zaragoza's youth setup in 2013, from AD Stadium Casablanca.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Gil in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against SD Tarazona.
Guti scored his first senior goal on 10 January 2016, in a 5–0 home routing of UD Fraga. On 26 February of the following year, he scored a brace in a 6–0 thrashing of CD Sariñena.
Guti made his professional debut on 10 June 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Jorge Pombo and scoring his team's only goal in a 2–1 home loss against CD Tenerife in the Segunda División.[2] A regular starter during the 2017–18 season, he scored his first professional goal on 6 January 2018 by netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona B.[3]
On 20 September 2020, Guti signed a five-year contract with Elche CF, newly promoted to La Liga.[4] He made his debut in the category six days later in a 3–0 home loss to Real Sociedad, and scored his first goal the following 11 January, in a 3–1 home defeat to Getafe CF.
On 1 February 2024, after losing his starting spot, Guti returned to his first club Zaragoza on loan for the remainder of the season.[5] Just days later, he suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for eight months;[6] he only returned to action in October, now back at Elche.[7]
On 3 February 2025, Guti returned to the Maños on a permanent one-and-a-half-year contract.[8]
