Career
[edit]Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Morcillo joined CE Sabadell FC's youth sides in 2021, from Fundación Marcet. On 14 April 2024, while still a youth, he made his first team debut by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 Primera Federación away loss to CA Osasuna B.[1]
On 23 April 2024, Morcillo renewed with the Arlequinats until 2027.[2] Initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera Federación for the 2024–25 season, he soon became a starter with the main squad in Segunda Federación.[3]
On 19 June 2025, Atlético Madrid reached an agreement with Sabadell for the transfer of Morcillo, who agreed to a three-year contract and was assigned to the B-team in the third division.[4] He made his professional – and La Liga – debut the following 4 April, replacing Antoine Griezmann in a 2–1 home loss to FC Barcelona.[5][6]
