In July 2014, Neva joined Real Madrid's youth setup,^[2] but was deemed surplus to requirements and moved to Sevilla FC in September.^[3] He renewed his contract with the latter side the following 8 July, being promoted to the C-team.^[4]

On 26 July 2016, Neva signed for Marbella FC in Segunda División B.^[5] Roughly one year later, he agreed to a deal with Granada CF and was assigned to the reserves also in the third division.^[6]

Neva made his professional debut on 8 June 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fran Rico in a 2–1 home win against AD Alcorcón in the Segunda División championship.^[7] On 15 August, he renewed his contract until 2021 and was definitely promoted to the main squad, now in La Liga.^[8]

Neva made his debut in the top tier on 21 September 2019, starting in a 2–0 home win against FC Barcelona, and subsequently profitted from injuries of starter Álex Martínez to establish himself as a first-choice during the campaign.^[9] On 23 July 2020, he further extended his contract until 2022.^[10]

On 8 February 2021, Neva renewed his link with the Nazaríes until 2025.^[11] He remained a starter for the side during the following years, suffering relegation in 2021–22 but immediately returning in 2022–23; during the latter season, he scored his first professional goal, netting his team's only in a 3–1 away loss against Levante UD on 14 January 2023.

Neva left Granada on 6 June 2025, as his contract was due to expire; he departed the club after eight seasons, two of them spent with the reserves, and ended his spell with 177 official matches for the main squad, becoming the player with the most appearances for the side in the 21st century.^[12]
