Club career

Deportivo

Born in Arzúa, Province of A Coruña, Insua was a youth product of local Deportivo de La Coruña. He made his debuts as a senior with the reserves, representing them in both the third and fourth divisions.

Insua made his official debut for the Galicians' first team on 25 November 2012, playing the last ten minutes of a 1–1 La Liga away draw against Athletic Bilbao.[1] On 17 August of the following year, with the club again in the second level, he scored his first professional goal, the only in a win at UD Las Palmas.[2]

Insua renewed with Depor on 25 March 2014, signing until 2018.[3] He was an ever-present figure during the season, appearing in 39 matches and scoring three goals as his team returned to the top level at the first attempt.

Leganés

On 15 August 2015, Insua was loaned to CD Leganés in the second level for one year.[4] He scored once from 35 games in his first year, helping to a first-ever top flight promotion.[5][6]

On 15 July 2016, Insúa's loan was renewed for a further season.[7] He scored his first goal in the Spanish top tier on 21 January 2017, netting the equaliser in a 2–2 away draw against Deportivo Alavés.[8]

Schalke 04

On 29 June 2017, after contributing with 29 appearances as Leganés retained their newly acquired status, Insua signed with FC Schalke 04 on a four-year deal, for an undisclosed fee.[9]
