Club career

Born in Moratalla, Region of Murcia, Alberto joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2013, from UD Almería. Promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2018–19 season, he made his senior debut on 26 August 2018 by playing the last 21 minutes in a 2–0 Segunda División B home defeat of UD Las Palmas Atlético.[1]

Alberto scored his first senior goals on 17 February 2019, netting a brace in a 3–2 away win against CDA Navalcarnero.[2] He finished the season with three goals in 31 appearances, but suffered a knee injury in May, eventually missing the promotion play-offs.[3]

On 14 August 2019, despite being injured, Alberto was loaned to Segunda División newcomers CF Fuenlabrada, for one year.[4] He made his professional debut on 2 February of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Caye Quintana in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC.[5]
