Club career

On 25 February 2016, Bautista renewed his contract until 2020.[8] He appeared in his first competitive match – and in La Liga – on 24 April, replacing fellow youth graduate Mikel Oyarzabal in the dying minutes of a 0–0 away draw against Villarreal CF.[9]

Bautista scored his first professional goal on 8 May 2016, netting the winner in a 2–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano.[10] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, he was definitively promoted to the main squad.
