Career

On 25 June 2016, Santamaria joined Ligue 1 side Angers SCO after a transfer fee offer of €400,000 from Angers to Tours had previously been rejected by the latter.[3]

In September 2020, Santamaria moved to Bundesliga club SC Freiburg after protracted negotiations with Angers.[4][5] German sports magazine kicker reported the transfer fee as "about €10 million", the highest is SC Freiburg's history.[5]
