Born in Cenes de la Vega, Granada, Andalusia, Requena joined Villarreal CF's youth setup in 2016, after representing Granada CF and hometown side CF Sierra Nevada Cenes.[1] He made his senior debut with the former's C-team on 28 October 2022, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Tercera Federación home draw against Atlético Levante UD.

On 4 January 2023, Requena renewed his contract with the Yellow Submarine until 2026.[2] He made his professional debut with the reserves on 27 May, replacing fellow debutant Dani Clavijo late into a 4–3 away loss against FC Andorra in the Segunda División.[3][4]

Requena scored his first professional goal on 30 September 2023, netting the B's equalizer in a 2–2 home draw against AD Alcorcón.

On 23 August 2022, Requena was called up to the Spain national under-19 team for two friendlies against Israel.[5] He featured in both matches (0–0 draw and 2–0 win), scoring in the second.
