Club career

Born in Pujaire, Almería, Andalusia, Callejón joined UD Almería's youth setup in 2010, aged 12, from UDC Pavía.[1] He made his senior debut with the B-team on 23 October 2016, starting in a 2–2 Tercera División away draw against CD El Palo.[2]

Definitely promoted to the reserves in January 2017, Callejón scored his first senior goal on 15 January, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at UD Ciudad de Torredonjimeno.[3] On 9 April he made his first team debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Kalu Uche in a 2–2 home draw against Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División championship.[4]

On 5 May 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Callejón renewed his contract with the club until 2023.[5] On 10 September, however, he was loaned to Betis Deportivo Balompié for the 2020–21 campaign.[6]

On 15 July 2021, Callejón signed a permanent five-year contract with the Verdiblancos.[7]
