Born in Linares, Jaén, Andalusia, Sánchez joined Granada CF's youth setup in 2016, after representing Real Jaén and Linares CF 2011. On 4 April 2019, while still a youth, he renewed his contract for two seasons.[2]

On 28 May 2020, Sánchez renewed his contract with the Nazaríes for a further campaign.[5] He first appeared in the UEFA Europa League on 5 November by playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win against AC Omonia,[6] and completed a trio of debuts three days later by starting in a 0–2 La Liga away loss against Real Sociedad.[7]

On 27 January 2023, Sánchez was loaned to Primera Federación side Deportivo de La Coruña for the remainder of the season.[8] On 26 July, he moved to fellow third division side UD Ibiza on a two-year contract.[9]
