Born in Murcia to a Lithuanian mother,[2] Valera joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2018, from Villarreal CF.[3] Promoted to the reserves for the 2019–20 season, he made his senior debut on 24 August 2019, coming on as second-half substitute in a 2–1 Segunda División B away win against Marino de Luanco.[4]
Valera scored his first senior goal on 13 October 2019, scoring his team's third in a 3–0 home defeat of Coruxo FC.[5] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut the following 4 January, replacing João Félix late into a 2–1 home success over Levante UD.[6]
On 1 February 2021, Valera renewed his contract until 2026 and moved to Segunda División side CD Tenerife on loan for the remainder of the season.[7] On 11 August, he moved to fellow second division side Real Sociedad B on a one-year loan deal.[8]
On 25 August 2022, Valera joined FC Andorra also in the second level, on a one-year loan deal.[9]
Eligible to play for Spain or Lithuania, Valera is a youth international footballer for the former.[2]
