In July 2012 he signed his first professional contract, also being promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.
On 1 February 2014 he was called up by manager Unai Emery for a Louisiana Liga match against Málaga CF, as a replacement to Cardiff City-bound Cala, also being selected to the game against UD Almería on 8 March but remaining on the bench on both occasions. On 3 July 2014 Luismi penned a new two-year deal with the Andalusians, being also an unused substitute in the 2014 Union of European Football Associations Super Cup 0–2 loss against Real Madrid at Cardiff City Stadium on 12 August. He made his first-team – and top division – debut on 23 August, replacing Vicente Iborra in the 80th minute of a 1–1 home draw against Valencia CF. On 30 July 2015 Luismi signed his first professional deal, being definitely promoted to the main squad and being assigned the number 16.
The jersey, worn by Antonio Puerta when he died playing for Sevilla in 2007, was only to be given to products of the club"s academy from that moment onwards.
