Club career

Born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Alende played youth football with local Celta de Vigo, signing a new five-year deal on 11 August 2015.[1] He made his senior debut with the B-team on 20 September of that year, starting in a 6–1 home routing of Arandina CF for the Segunda División B championship.[2]

Alende made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 5 December 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for goalscorer Theo Bongonda in a 1–1 away draw against Real Betis.[3] He resumed his spell at the club mainly with the B-team, leaving on 19 June 2019.[4]

On 4 July 2019, Alende moved to another reserve team, Real Valladolid B also in division three.[5] He made his debut with the main squad the following 22 January, starting in a 1–2 loss at CD Tenerife for the season's Copa del Rey.

On 20 August 2020, Alende was loaned to Segunda División side CD Lugo, for one year.[6]
