José María Relucio Gallego (born 9 February 1998), commonly known as Relu, is a Spanish footballer who plays for the Swiss club YF Juventus as a midfielder.
Born in Madrid, Relu represented Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Atlético Madrid as a youth. In July 2017, he agreed to a move to Internazionale,[1] but the deal was later called off and he joined Deportivo Alavés instead, being loaned to Tercera División side CF Trival Valderas on 24 August.[2]
Relu made his senior debut on 3 September 2017, playing the last 11 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against CF Pozuelo de Alarcón.[3] He scored his first goal on 3 December, netting the opener in a 2–2 home draw against CDF Tres Cantos.[4]
In September 2018, Relu agreed to a contract with AD Alcorcón, being initially assigned to B-team also in the fourth tier.[5] He made his professional debut the following 24 March, coming on as a second-half substitute for Richard Boateng in a 1–3 loss at Elche CF in the Segunda División.[6]
On 21 June 2019, after only four first-team matches, Relu signed for Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund,[7] being initially assigned to the reserves. On 14 July 2020, after having his appearances limited due to a knee injury, he returned to his home country and joined Getafe CF's B-team in the Segunda División B.[8]
