Football career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Oliván graduated with FC Barcelona's youth ranks. In August 2013, before even appearing as a senior he moved abroad, signing a three-year deal with Portuguese side S.C. Braga and being assigned to the reserves in Segunda Liga.[1]

Oliván played his first match as a professional on 14 September 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 awy loss against C.D. Feirense.[2] He rescinded his link with the club in January of the following year,[3] and subsequently joined PFC CSKA Sofia in the following month.[4]

On 21 July 2014, after failing to appear with CSKA, Oliván joined another reserve team, Real Valladolid B in Segunda División B.[5] On 18 December he first appeared with the main squad, starting in a 0–1 Copa del Rey away loss against Elche CF.[6]
