Club career

Born in Madrid, Camello joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in 2009, aged eight, from CDS Las Encinas de Boadilla. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 23 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring the equalizer in a 4–2 Segunda División B away win against CDA Navalcarnero.
On 12 May 2019, Camello scored a brace in a 2–0 away defeat of Pontevedra CF. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut six days later; after coming on as a half-time substitute for Thomas Partey, he scored the equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against Levante UD, becoming the first player born in the 21st century to score for Atleti.
On 31 August 2021, Camello moved to Segunda División side CD Mirandés on loan for the 2021–22 season. An undisputed starter, he scored 15 goals during the campaign, notably scoring braces against UD Las Palmas, CD Lugo and SD Ponferradina.
On 3 August 2022, Camello renewed his contract with Atleti until 2026, and moved to fellow top tier Rayo Vallecano on loan for the season. He scored his first goal in the top tier on 3 October, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home win over Elche CF.
On 17 August 2023, Camello signed a permanent four-year deal with Rayo.

In 2024, Camello was called up to the Spain Olympic team for the 2024 Olympic Games. On 9 August 2024, he scored two goals in the extra time to give Spain the 5–3 victory against France in the final, thus winning the gold medal.
