Club career

Born in Valencia, Blesa played youth football for Levante UD. In August 2018, while still a youth, he signed his first professional contract by agreeing to a deal until 2022.[1]

On 26 August 2018, aged only 16, Blesa made his senior debut with the reserves, starting and playing 81 minutes in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win over CD Teruel.[2] He scored his first goal on 8 September, netting his side's second in a 2–2 away draw against UE Olot.[3]

Blesa made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 19 July 2020, coming on as a late substitute for captain José Luis Morales in a 1–0 home win against Getafe CF.[4] On 24 June 2021, he was promoted to the main squad for the 2021–22 campaign.[5]

On 28 January 2022, after failing to feature in a single league minute during the campaign, Blesa moved to Primera División RFEF side CD Castellón on loan.[6] On 19 August, he moved to fellow league team Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa also in a temporary deal.[7]
