Club career
Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Cárdenas joined Levante UD's youth setup in January 2014, after notably representing FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol.[1] He was promoted to the former's reserves for the 2016–17 season, and made his senior debut on 20 August 2016 by starting in a 0–1 home loss against CD Atlético Baleares.[2]
Initially a third-choice behind Dani Sotres and Koke Vegas, Sotres became a regular starter after Sotres left and Koke was promoted to the main squad. On 12 March 2020, he renewed his contract until 2022.[3]
On 27 November 2020, as Aitor was injured, Cárdenas made his first team – and La Liga – debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Real Valladolid.[4][5]
