Raúl Guti
Spanish footballer
José Raúl Gutiérrez Parejo (born 30 December 1996), known as Raúl Guti, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Born in Zaragoza, Guti joined Real Zaragoza's youth setup in 2013, from Stadium Casablanca. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 August 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Gil in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against SD Tarazona.
Guti scored his first senior goal on 10 January 2016, in a 5–0 home routing of UD Fraga. On 26 February of the following year, he scored a brace in a 6–0 thrashing of CD Sariñena.
Guti made his professional debut on 10 June 2017, replacing fellow youth graduate Jorge Pombo and scoring his team's only goal in a 2–1 home loss against CD Tenerife in the Segunda División. A regular starter during the 2017–18 season, he scored his first professional goal on 6 January 2018 by netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against FC Barcelona B.
On 20 September 2020, Guti signed a five-year contract with Elche CF, newly promoted to La Liga. He made his debut in the category six days later in a 3–0 home loss to Real Sociedad, and scored his first goal the following 11 January, in a 3–1 home defeat to Getafe CF.
On 1 February 2024, after losing his starting spot, Guti returned to his first club Zaragoza on loan for the remainder of the season. Just days later, he suffered a knee injury which sidelined him for eight months; he only returned to action in October, now back at Elche.
On 3 February 2025, Guti returned to the Maños on a permanent one-and-a-half-year contract.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Raúl Guti”, the useful work is to connect “spanish footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30248549. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2013, 2015 and 2016.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
