Álvaro Núñez

Álvaro Núñez of Celta Vigo was born in Bilbao, Spain on 7 June 2000 (age 26).

Álvaro Núñez (born 7 June 2000, age 26) is a Spanish right-back with Celta Vigo, where he wears squad number 15.

His most productive league campaign came with Amorebieta in 2023-24, when he scored two goals in 39 appearances. That season gave him a proper senior workload rather than the usual scraps that can pass for development.

By 2026-27, Núñez was involved at Celta Vigo, making three LaLiga appearances and one in the Europa League. Across all competitions for Celta, he has made four appearances.

His career so far is a straightforward one: a Spanish full-back who put together a substantial season at Amorebieta before working into the Celta Vigo squad.
