Career

Born in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Seville, Andalusia, Barea began his career with Real Betis, but went on to play for CD El Tinte, CD Utrera and San Roque Balompié before returning to his first club in 2022.[1][2] After playing in the Juvenil squad, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 28 January 2024, coming on as a late substitute for Yanis Senhadji in a 1–1 Segunda Federación away draw against Racing Cartagena Mar Menor FC.[3]

Barea became a full member of the B-side during the 2024–25 Primera Federación, and scored his first senior goal on 9 November 2024, netting the opener in a 4–0 home routing of CD Alcoyano.[4] The following 31 July, he renewed his contract until 2028, and was immediately loaned to Segunda División side CD Mirandés, for one year.[5][6]

Barea made his professional debut on 17 August 2025, starting in a 1–0 away loss to Cádiz CF.[7]
