Career

[edit]

A youth product of Sevilla's youth academy, in 2013 Sevilla's then goalkeeper Andrés Palop gave Flores his last ever match shirt before retiring.[1] After working his way up their youth levels, he debuted with Sevilla B in the 2020–21 season and signed his first professional contract with the club on 6 May 2021 for 3 seasons.[2]

In the 2022–23 season, Flores joined the preseason for the senior team and was formally promoted as their third goalkeeper.[3] He was on the bench as third goalkeeper for Sevilla during the 2023 UEFA Europa League final on 31 May 2023[4] He made his senior and professional debut with Sevilla in a 3–1 Copa del Rey win over Getafe on 16 January 2024, dedicating his shirt to Andrés Palop in turn.[5]

International career

In September 2021, Flores debuted for the Spain U19s in a match against the Mexico U19s.[6]
