Born in Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona, Catalonia, Maffeo had youth spells at Espanyol and Manchester City, alongside his brother Pablo, before joining Wigan Athletic in 2015.[1] On 29 August 2017, Maffeo made his professional debut at the age of 16, during Wigan's EFL Trophy tie against Blackpool. In which, he replaced Callum Lang in the 1–1 draw and scored Wigan's fourth penalty during the 4–3 shootout victory.[2] He scored his first goal for the club in October 2017 in their 4-1 victory over Middlesbrough U23's in the EFL Trophy.[3]
On 19 August 2019, after 4 years at Wigan, Girona signed Maffeo on a free transfer, returning home to Spain.
After an unsuccessful loan at Hércules the previous season, Maffeo joined Andorran side Sant Julià on a season-long loan. Maffeo picked up a suspension after receiving five yellow cards in his first 9 league matches for Sant Julià.
