Born in Madrid, Ivi finished his formation with local Getafe CF. On 24 February 2013, still a junior, he made his senior debuts, coming on as a late substitute for the reserves in a 2–0 home win against Zamora CF for the Segunda División B championship.[1]
Ivi started the 2013–14 season still with the B-team and in the third level, notably scoring twice in a 3–0 success at Real Unión.[2] On 27 March 2014, he made his main squad and La Liga debut, replacing Pablo Sarabia for the final 20 minutes of an eventual 0–1 home loss to Villarreal CF.[3]
On 16 June 2015, Ivi signed a three-year deal with another reserve team, Sevilla Atlético also in the third division.[4] On 8 October of the following year he scored his first professional goals, netting a brace in a 2–1 home win against Real Zaragoza.[5]
On 7 August 2017, Ivi signed a four-year contract with Levante UD in the main category, for a rumoured fee of € 1.5 million.[6]
