Career

Born in Melilla, Garcés joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2016, from hometown club CF Rusadir. He made his unofficial debut for the first team on 22 May 2018, scoring the winner in a 3–2 defeat of Nigeria A'.
On 4 July 2018, after finishing his formation, Garcés renewed his contract until 2021, being promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B. After spending the whole pre-season with the main squad, he made his senior debut with the B's on 9 September, playing the last 27 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Unionistas de Salamanca CF.
On 14 September 2018, Garcés was named into Diego Simeone's squad ahead of a home fixture against SD Eibar, replacing injured Nikola Kalinić. He made his first-team – and La Liga – debut the following day; after coming on as a second-half substitute for Rodri, he scored a last-minute equalizer to give the hosts a 1–1 home draw.
In March 2019, Garcés suffered a serious knee injury which kept him out for six months.
