Club career

edit

Neva was born in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, Andalusia, and made his senior debut for Racing Club Portuense on 21 April 2013, in a 0–1 Tercera División away loss against Ayamonte CF. On 12 May he scored his first senior goal, in a 2–1 home defeat of CA Ceuta.

In July 2014, Neva joined Real Madrid's youth setup,[2] but was deemed surplus to requirements and moved to Sevilla FC in September.[3] He renewed his contract with the latter side the following 8 July, being promoted to the C-team.[4]

On 26 July 2016, Neva signed for Marbella FC in Segunda División B.[5] Roughly one year later, he agreed to a deal with Granada CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[6]

Neva made his professional debut on 8 June 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fran Rico in a 2–1 home win against AD Alcorcón in the Segunda División championship.[7] On 15 August, he renewed his contract until 2021 and was definitely promoted to the main squad, now in La Liga.[8]

Neva made his debut in the top tier on 21 September 2019, starting in a 2–0 home win against FC Barcelona, and subsequently profitted from injuries of starter Álex Martínez to establish himself as a first-choice during the campaign.[9] On 23 July 2020, he further extended his contract until 2022.[10]

On 8 February 2021, Neva renewed his link with the Nazaríes until 2025.[11] He remained a starter for the side during the following years, suffering relegation in 2021–22 but immediately returning in 2022–23; during the latter season, he scored his first professional goal, netting his team's only in a 3–1 away loss against Levante UD on 14 January 2023.
