Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Barrenetxea is a graduate of Real Sociedad's youth setup (he joined the club from Antiguoko in 2013, on the same day as Martín Zubimendi).[4]
In the 2018–19 season, he began to train with the senior team, while registered with the club's C-team playing in the amateur fourth tier. In early December 2018, he renewed his contract until 2025.[5]
On 22 December 2018, Barrenetxea made his professional and La Liga debut as a late substitute for Real Sociedad in a 1–0 home loss against Deportivo Alavés. In so doing, he became the first player born in the 21st century to appear in the competition,[6][7] the 26th-youngest debutant in the division overall, and the club's youngest since the Spanish Civil War (behind only 15-year-old Pedro Irastorza in 1934).[8] By coincidence, the player who left the field, Juanmi, was even younger when making his bow in the competition eight years earlier.[8]
Barrenetxea's rapid progression to the senior team made him the first youth product to appear at that level without already playing for the club's B-team, known as Sanse, since Antoine Griezmann did likewise in 2009.[2] Two days after his breakthrough, he was back playing with the C-team.[9]
Barrenetxea made his debut for Sanse on 6 January 2019, scoring on his debut in the third tier in a 3–0 home victory over Izarra.[10] He scored his first professional goal for the first team on 12 May, in a 3–1 home victory over Real Madrid.[11]
On 9 June 2019, Barrenetxea was definitely promoted to the main squad of the Txuri-urdin.[12] He played a part in the club's run to the 2020 Copa del Rey final, starting in the earlier rounds (contributing three goals) and coming off the bench in the quarter-final win against Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.[13] The final was delayed for almost a year due to COVID-19, with Barrenetxea introduced as a late substitute in the 1–0 Basque derby victory over Athletic Bilbao.[14]
He missed the second half of the 2021–22 season with a thigh injury which required surgery,[15] but recovered successfully after an operation by surgeon Lasse Lempainen in Turku, Finland.[16] By February 2023, he had reached the milestone of 100 appearances for the club, aged 21;[17] at the end of that season, Real qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in a decade.[18]
Barrenetxea was called up for the Spain Under-16 team in 2016[19] and 2017,[3] and appeared for the Under-18s in November 2018.[20] He also featured for the regional Basque Country in the same age groups.[21][22]
He was selected for the 20-man Spain squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and came on as an 80th-minute substitute as Spain beat Portugal 2–0 in the final to be crowned winners of the competition.[23]
