Raimundo spent his entire career with Sevilla from 1935 to 1945, before retiring due to injuries. Manager Pepe Brand incorporated Raimundo into Sevilla's first team in 1935.[1] He was part of a renowned offensive line at Sevilla called the "Stuka", alongside Pepillo, José López, Campanal I, and Rafael Berrocal.[1]
