Club career
[edit]Spain
[edit]Born in Madrid, Ivi finished his youth career with local Getafe CF. On 24 February 2013, still a junior, he made his senior debut, coming on as a late substitute for the reserves in a 2–0 home win against Zamora CF in the Segunda División B.[1]
Ivi started the 2013–14 season still with the B-team and in the third division, notably scoring twice in a 3–0 away victory over Real Unión.[2] On 27 March 2014, he made his main squad and La Liga debut, replacing Pablo Sarabia for the final 20 minutes of an eventual 0–1 home loss to Villarreal CF.[3]
On 16 June 2015, Ivi signed a three-year deal with another reserve team, Sevilla Atlético also in the third tier.[4] On 8 October of the following year he scored his first professional goals, netting a brace in a 2–1 home defeat of Real Zaragoza.[5]
On 7 August 2017, Ivi agreed to a four-year contract with top-flight club Levante UD for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[6] He scored his first goal for them on 26 August, through a penalty kick in a 2–2 home draw against Deportivo de La Coruña,[7] and repeated the feat on 9 September to help to a 1–1 draw at title holders Real Madrid.[8]
Ivi was loaned to Real Valladolid in the same league on 27 July 2018, for one year.[9] The following 31 January, he signed with Sporting de Gijón of division two also in a temporary deal.[10]
On 13 August 2019, Ivi joined SD Huesca on loan for the second-tier season.[11] He left the following 16 January,[12] and moved to SD Ponferradina hours later also on loan.[13]
Raków Częstochowa
[edit]Ivi terminated his contract with Levante on 28 August 2020,[14] and joined Polish side Raków Częstochowa four days later.[15] He helped them to win the Polish Cup in his first season, equalising the 2–1 final victory over Arka Gdynia.[16][17]
On 17 July 2021, Ivi converted his attempt in Raków's penalty shootout victory against reigning Ekstraklasa champions Legia Warsaw in the Polish Super Cup.[18] The following 2 May, he scored in the final of the domestic cup to help defeat Lech Poznań 3–1 and secure a second consecutive conquest of the tournament.[19]
Ivi missed the vast majority of the 2023–24 campaign, after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in a preseason friendly against MKS Puszcza Niepołomice on 27 June 2023.[20]
