Club career

Born in A Coruña, Galicia, Mosquera joined Deportivo de La Coruña's youth setup in 2009, aged ten.[1] In 2018, after finishing his formation, he was assigned to farm team Laracha CF in Tercera División, and made his senior debut on 30 September of that year by coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win over RC Villalbés.[2]

Mosquera scored his first senior goal on 17 November 2018, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Silva SD.[3] After being a regular starter for Laracha, he made his debut for Dépor's reserves on 19 May 2019, playing the last 19 minutes in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against Real Valladolid B, as his side was already relegated.[4]

On 7 December 2019, Mosquera moved to Extremadura UD on loan,[5] being initially assigned to the B-team also in the fourth division.[1] After the COVID-19 pandemic, he was included in the first team squad for trainings, and made his professional debut on 12 June 2020, replacing Víctor Pastrana late into a 1–1 away draw against Elche CF for the Segunda División championship.[6]

Personal life

Mosquera's father, also named Manuel, was also a footballer and a forward.[1][7] He too was groomed at Deportivo, and both were together at Extremadura.
