Club career

Born in Socovos, Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha, Álvarez was a Villarreal CF youth graduate. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 August 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Dani Raba in a 1–0 Segunda División B away win over CD Atlético Baleares, but spent the vast majority of the campaign playing for the C-team in Tercera División.

On 21 June 2022, after being regularly used as Alba achieved promotion to the second division, Álvarez signed a new one-year contract with the club.[3] He made his professional debut on 9 October, replacing goalscorer Manu Fuster in a 1–1 home draw against CD Tenerife.[4]
