Career
[edit]At the age of ten, Goti joined the youth academy of Athletic Bilbao.[1] In 2020, he made his senior debut with farm team CD Basconia, before playing for the reserve team of Athletic by the second half of the season.
On 19 June 2023, Goti signed for rivals Real Sociedad, being initially assigned to the B-team in Primera Federación.[2] By the summer of 2024, he was training with the club's first team and received offers from a number of Segunda División sides, which he rejected.[3] On 21 November 2024, he debuted and scored his first goal for the first team during a 5–0 away win over FC Jove Español San Vicente in the Copa del Rey.[4]
On 8 April 2025, Goti renewed his link until 2028, being promoted to the first team ahead of the 2025–26 campaign.[5] He made his La Liga debut on 13 September, starting in a 2–1 home loss to Real Madrid.
On 27 January 2026, after being rarely used, Goti was loaned to Córdoba CF in the second division, until June.[6]
