Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, Núñez joined Valencia CF's youth sides in 2017, aged 11, after representing Elche CF and SCD Carolinas.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 22 December 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute for Pablo López in a 1–1 Segunda Federación away draw against CE Sabadell FC.[2]

After quickly establishing himself as a starter for the B-team, Núñez renewed his link with the Che on 23 July 2025.[3] He made his first team debut on 28 October, replacing Baptiste Santamaria in a 5–0 away routing of UD Maracena, for the season's Copa del Rey, also providing the assist to Luis Rioja's fourth goal.[4][5]

On 26 July 2026, Núñez was loaned to Segunda División side SD Eibar for one year.[6] He made his professional debut on 23 August, replacing Aleix Garrido late into a 1–0 home win over Real Valladolid.[7]
