Club career

Atlético Madrid

2010–2017: Early career

Born in Alcázar de San Juan, Ciudad Real but raised in Villa de Don Fadrique, Toledo,[2] Mollejo joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2010, from CD Villa de Don Fadrique.[3] On 12 August 2017, he appeared with the first team in a pre-season friendly against CD Leganés, becoming the first player born in the 21st century to appear for the club.[4]

2018–19: Senior debut

Promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2018–19 season, Mollejo made his official senior debut on 26 August 2018, starting in a 1–1 Segunda División B away draw against AD Unión Adarve.[5] His first goal occurred on 23 September, as he scored his team's third in a 4–2 win at CDA Navalcarnero.[6]

Mollejo made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 19 January 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Thomas Lemar in a 3–0 away win.[7]

2019–20: Loan to Deportivo de La Coruña

On 2 September, he joined Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña on a season-long loan deal.[8]

Mollejo scored his first professional goal on 18 September 2019, netting his team's first in a 3–3 home draw against CD Numancia. He was Dépor's second-best goalscorer during the campaign with six league goals, but his side was unable to avoid relegation.

2020–21: Loans to Getafe and Mallorca

On 5 October 2020, Mollejo joined fellow top tier side Getafe CF on loan for the 2020–21 campaign.[9] On 1 February 2021, after just four matches, his loan was cut short.

Immediately after leaving Getafe, Mollejo moved to second division club RCD Mallorca on loan for the remainder of the season.[10]

2021–22: Loan to Tenerife

On 31 August 2021, Mollejo moved to CD Tenerife also in the second level, on loan for one year.[11]

2022–23 and 2023–24: Loans to Zaragoza

On 18 July 2022, Mollejo agreed to a one-year loan deal with Real Zaragoza still in the second tier.[12] On 3 August, his loan was extended for the 2023–24 season.[13]

Personal life

Since he was nine years old, Mollejo suffers from alopecia.[14][15]
