Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands to a Spanish mother and a Swiss father, González moved to Geneva at early age and joined Servette FC's youth setup at the age of five.[2] In July 2016, after reportedly attracting interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City, he signed a four-year contract with the latter.[3]

After progressing through City's Academy, González made his senior debut with the under-21 squad on 25 September 2018, starting and scoring the second of a 4–1 EFL Trophy away defeat of Crewe Alexandra.[4]

Málaga

On 2 September 2019, González signed for Málaga CF in Segunda División.[5] He made his professional debut on 17 September, coming on as a second-half substitute for David Lombán in a 1–1 home draw against Rayo Vallecano.[6] He totalled six appearances, starting one in a goalless draw with Sporting de Gijón at La Rosaleda Stadium on 29 September.[7]

St. Gallen

On 24 January 2020, González signed for FC St. Gallen in Swiss Super League,[8] accepting the league's minimum salary of €40,000 per half season.[9] He played only once, as a 68th-minute substitute for Angelo Campos in a 2–1 win at former team Servette on 21 May 2021, the last day of his second season.[10]

On 10 September 2021, González joined FK Ústí nad Labem on loan.[11] He played 14 games in the Czech National Football League, scoring once in his second game on 17 September to open a 2–0 home win over FK Varnsdorf. He was released by St. Gallen on 23 June 2022.[12]
