Club career

Early career

Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Mediero was adopted by a Spanish mother at the age of one.[2] After his adoptive family settled in Vigo, Mediero started his career with local side Victoria at the age of seven, before joining Celta a year later.[2] After five years with Celta, he was poached by Barcelona, a move which was investigated by FIFA, leading to Barcelona being sanctioned and Mediero being suspended for a year.[2][3][4][5]

A serious injury hindered his game time at La Masia, and in 2020 he moved to Italy to sign for Atalanta.[2][6] In January 2022, he was loaned to Hellas Verona.[7]

Fursan Hispania

In December 2022, Mediero moved to the United Arab Emirates to sign for First Division League side Fursan Hispania.[8]
