Club career

Born in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Dalmau joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2011 after starting out at CD San Francisco.[2] The following year, he moved to neighbouring Rayo Vallecano, making his debut with the reserves on 25 November 2012 by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 Segunda División B home loss against CD Ourense.[3]

Dalmau was loaned to Zamora CF also of the third division on 2 September 2013.[4] On 8 July of the following year, he signed a one-year deal at Racing de Ferrol in the same tier after terminating his contract with Rayo.[5]

A backup to Joselu, Dalmau still contributed eight goals as his team missed out on promotion in the play-offs. On 19 June 2015, he moved to another reserve team, RCD Espanyol B still in division three.[6]

On 29 February 2016, after scoring 12 times in 25 matches,[7] Dalmau was loaned to CD Numancia until June.[8] He made his Segunda División debut on 6 March, replacing Jon Gaztañaga in the 1–0 away defeat against SD Ponferradina.[9]

Dalmau was loaned to RCD Mallorca in a season-long deal, on 12 August 2016.[10] The following 15 July, after suffering second-division relegation, he cut ties with Espanyol and joined Villarreal CF B.[11]

In June 2018, Dalmau moved abroad and agreed to a three-year contract at Dutch Eredivisie side Heracles Almelo with the option of a fourth.[12] With 19 goals, he finished third in the scoring charts in his only season;[13] this included four goals on 16 February 2019 in a 6–0 home win over Fortuna Sittard,[14] and a hat-trick on the last day in a 5–4 loss to SBV Excelsior also at the Polman Stadion.[15]

In July 2019, after his club rejected an offer from Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, Dalmau signed a three-year deal with FC Utrecht of the same league for an undisclosed fee.[16] He struggled heavily with injuries in his debut campaign, appearing in only eight competitive games.[17][18]

Dalmau joined Sparta Rotterdam on 24 December 2021, on a five-month contract to be made effective the following January.[19] On 11 August 2022, he returned to Spain with AD Alcorcón of the Primera Federación.[20]

On 8 July 2023, Dalmau joined Polish Ekstraklasa side Korona Kielce on a two-year deal.[21]
