Club career

Deportivo

Born in Arzúa, Province of A Coruña, Insua was a youth product of local Deportivo de La Coruña. He made his debut as a senior with the reserves, representing them in both the Segunda División B and the Tercera División. [2]

Insua made his official debut for the Galicians' first team on 25 November 2012, playing the last ten minutes of the 1–1 La Liga away draw against Athletic Bilbao. [3] On 17 August of the following year, with the club again in the Segunda División, he scored his first professional goal, the only in a win at UD Las Palmas. [4]

Insua renewed with Depor on 25 March 2014, signing until 2018. [5] He was an ever-present figure during the season, appearing in 39 matches and scoring three goals as his team returned to the top flight at the first attempt. [6]

Leganés

On 15 August 2015, Insua was loaned to CD Leganés of the second tier for one year. [7] He scored once from 35 games in his first year, helping to a first ever top-division promotion. [8] [9]

On 29 June 2017, after contributing 29 appearances as Leganés retained their newly acquired status, Insua signed with FC Schalke 04 on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee. [12] In September, he suffered myocarditis which kept him out of play for months until he returned to training in January 2018. [13] His Bundesliga debut occurred on 17 March, when he came on as a 64th-minute substitute in the 1–0 away defeat of VfL Wolfsburg. [14]
