Juan Miguel "Juanmi" Callejón Bueno (born 11 February 1987) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Club Bolívar in Bolivia.

He amassed Segunda División totals of 88 games and five goals, representing four clubs in the competition. He spent most of his professional career in Bolivia, with Bolívar.

Football career

Callejón was born in Motril, Granada. In 2005–06, he played in 33 games and scored eight goals for Real Madrid's Juvenil A and, in March 2007, he made his senior debut for the B-side,[1] finishing the season in the second division with that sole substitute appearance as they dropped down a level.

In 2007–08, Callejón played together with brother José as Real B were now in division three.[2] On 11 August 2008 he signed a four-year contract with RCD Mallorca, leaving in the same transfer window as his twin brother – the Balearic Islands club retained 75% of the player's rights.[3] He made his La Liga debut on 25 September 2008 in a 2–0 home win over CD Numancia, starting[4] in what would be his only league match in the entire campaign.[5]

On 25 August 2009, Callejón was loaned to Albacete Balompié in the second division, in a season-long move.[6] He stayed in that tier for 2010–11, joining Córdoba CF in his native Andalusia on a free transfer.[7]

In January 2013, after 1½ second-level seasons of irregular playing time with Hércules CF,[8] free agent Callejón signed for Levadiakos F.C. of Greece on a 1½-year deal.[9] In July, he switched clubs and countries again and joined Bolivia's Club Bolívar.[10] He scored four goals in twelve appearances in the latter's semi-final run in the Copa Libertadores and, on 30 November 2014, he netted a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Club Real Potosí to keep his team on top of the Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano, and him as the top scorer;[11] in a 2–1 win over the same opponents on 19 March 2015, both he and teammate Jhasmani Campos were sent off for retaliation.[12]

Personal life

Callejón's twin brother, José, is also a footballer. Both were Real Madrid graduates.[13]
