Club career

[edit]

Levante

[edit]

Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Cárdenas joined Levante UD's youth academy in January 2014 after notably representing FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol.[1] He was promoted to the former's reserves for the 2016–17 season, and made his senior debut on 20 August 2016 by starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home loss against CD Atlético Baleares.[2]

Initially third choice behind Daniel Sotres and Koke Vegas, Cardenas became a regular starter after the former left and the latter was promoted to the main squad. On 12 March 2020, he renewed his contract until 2022.[3]

On 27 November 2020, as Aitor was injured, Cárdenas made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Real Valladolid.[4][5] On 21 March 2022, already established in the first team, he agreed to an extension until 2025.[6]

Rayo Vallecano

[edit]

On 18 August 2023, Cárdenas signed a four-year deal with top-tier club Rayo Vallecano.[7]
