Club career
[edit]Born in Cardedeu, Barcelona, Catalonia, Altimira joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2008, from EC Granollers.[1] On 27 August 2020, after finishing his formation, he moved to Croatian side NK Lokomotiva Zagreb,[2] but terminated his contract shortly after and returned to his home country, signing for Segunda División B side UD Melilla on 7 October.[3]
Altimira made his senior debut on 1 November 2020, playing the last 30 minutes in a 1–0 home win over CF Villanovense. He scored his first senior goal the following 16 May, netting his team's third in a 3–0 home win over Atlético Madrid B.
On 1 July 2021, Altimira joined FC Andorra in the newly created Primera División RFEF.[4] He featured regularly for the side during the campaign, appearing in 29 matches overall as his side achieved a first-ever promotion to Segunda División.
Altimira made his professional debut on 15 August 2022, starting in a 1–0 away win over Real Oviedo.[5] He scored his first goal in the category five days later, but in a 4–1 away loss to Sporting de Gijón.
On 14 June 2023, after rejecting a contract renewal from Andorra, Altimira signed for Villarreal CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the second division.[6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 22 October, replacing Aïssa Mandi in a 1–1 home draw against Deportivo Alavés.
On 17 June 2024, Altimira renewed his link with the Yellow Submarine until 2026,[7] but was loaned to fellow top tier side CD Leganés on 21 August.[8]
Personal life
[edit]Altimira's uncle and cousin are also involved with football: his uncle Aureli was also a footballer who played as a forward and later became a coach, while his cousin Sergi is a midfielder; both were also Barcelona youth graduates.[9]
