Sevilla Rico was born in
Seville,
Andalusia. He played youth football with
Sevilla, spending several of his first seasons as a senior with
the reserves, in
Segunda División B. On 1 July 2013, he signed a new two-year deal with the club. On 14 September 2014, profiting from the injuries of both
Beto and
Mariano Barbosa, Rico made his first-team – and
La Liga – debut, starting in a 2–0 home win against
Getafe. He first appeared in the
UEFA Europa League four days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a home victory over
Feyenoord for
the same scoreline. In December 2014, Rico was definitely promoted to the main squad, overtaking Barbosa in the pecking order. He extended his contract with the
Rojiblancos on the 16th, signing until 2017 and being awarded a place with the first team. He finished
the campaign with 37 appearances in all competitions, including 11 in the Europa League which concluded with a 3–2 defeat of
Dnipro in
the final. In
2015–16, Rico played in Sevilla's
UEFA Champions League group stage elimination but was replaced by fellow youth graduate
David Soria as the team
went on to win a third consecutive Europa League title. He was still first choice during
2017–18, but was also involved in altercations with manager
Vincenzo Montella and a group of supporters. On 9 August 2018, Rico was loaned to
Fulham for
one season. He made his
Premier League debut on 27 October, in a 0–3 home loss against
Bournemouth. He edged out homegrown player
Marcus Bettinelli as the starter for the
West London side, who were relegated to the
Championship at the end of the campaign.
Paris Saint-Germain On 1 September 2019, Rico joined
Paris Saint-Germain on a
season-long loan deal which included an optional buyout clause. His maiden appearance in
Ligue 1 took place two months later in the 2–1 victory at
Brest, when
Keylor Navas withdrew injured before kick-off. On 29 June 2020, after the campaign had been halted due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, Rico signed a two-month contract extension at the
Parc des Princes. On 12 August, he came on as a
substitute for the injured Navas late into an eventual 2–1 win over
Atalanta in the
quarter-finals of the Champions League, and kept his place the next round against
RB Leipzig (3–0 victory). Rico signed a permanent four-year contract on 5 September 2020, the transfer fee being of €6 million. Following the arrival of
Gianluigi Donnarumma in July 2021, he was demoted to the role of third-choice. On 21 January 2022, Rico returned to Spain to join
Mallorca on loan until the end of
the season. He made his debut on 2 February, in a 1–0 loss at
Rayo Vallecano in the
quarter-finals of the
Copa del Rey. He quickly became the starter, overtaking veteran
Manolo Reina; however, after conceding six goals against relegation rivals
Granada on 7 May, he returned to the bench. Rico played no minutes in any competition for PSG in
2022–23 and
2023–24. On 29 June 2024, it was reported that he would be leaving at the end of the month.
Al-Gharafa On 29 September 2024, Rico moved to
Qatar Stars League club
Al-Gharafa. He made his first appearance in 492 days against
Al Ain in the
league stage of the
AFC Champions League Elite, a 4–2 home win. ==International career==
