2. Club Career

Alejandro Pozo's professional club career has seen him progress from the youth ranks of Sevilla FC through various loan spells, eventually settling at UD Almería.

Pozo made his professional debut with Sevilla's reserve team on August 21, 2016, at just 17 years old. He came on as a late substitute for Ivi in a Segunda División home match against Girona FC, which ended in a 3-3 draw. His first professional goal was scored on October 22, 2016, netting the equalizer in a 2-1 away victory against CD Numancia.

After suffering relegation with the B-team, Pozo renewed his contract with Sevilla until 2023 on August 27, 2019, signifying his permanent promotion to the senior squad. He subsequently made his La Liga debut on September 29, 2019, replacing Lucas Ocampos in a 3-2 home win against Real Sociedad.

2.2. Loan Spells

To gain further experience, Pozo embarked on several loan spells. On August 20, 2018, he joined fellow Segunda División side Granada CF on a one-year loan deal. He was a regular for NazaríesNazarenesSpanish during the campaign, contributing with four goals in 30 appearances as his side achieved promotion back to the top tier.

On January 15, 2020, after featuring rarely for Sevilla, Pozo was loaned to fellow top-tier club RCD Mallorca for the remainder of the 2019-20 season. The following season, on October 5, 2020, he was loaned to SD Eibar for the 2020-21 campaign, alongside teammate Bryan Gil.

On August 31, 2021, Pozo moved to UD Almería in the Segunda División on a one-year loan deal, which included a buyout clause.

2.3. UD Almería

He made his senior international debut for the Spain national football team on June 8, 2021, in a friendly match against Lithuania. This unusual call-up occurred because Spain's under-21 squad was drafted for the match due to the isolation of some national team players following a positive COVID-19 test for Sergio Busquets. Spain won the match 4-0.
