Born in Murcia, Valera joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2018, from Villarreal CF.[1] Promoted to the reserves for the 2019–20 season, he made his senior debut on 24 August 2019, coming on as second-half substitute in a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against Marino de Luanco.[2]

Valera scored his first senior goal on 13 October 2019, scoring his team's third in a 3–0 home defeat of Coruxo FC.[3] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut the following 4 January, replacing João Félix late into a 2–1 home success over Levante UD.[4]
