Years in Spain

In 2018–19, Llinares played his first season at senior level with Mallorca B in the Tercera División, the Spanish fourth level, making 16 appearances.[2] In 2019–20, he suffered a long-term injury that kept him sidelined for the first half of the season, before making a move to Algeciras in the Segunda División B, the domestic third tier, on 31 January 2020. The following season, in 2020–21, Llinares established himself as an important player for Algeciras, that won their first phase group and finished third in their second phase group securing a place in the Primera Federación, scoring three goals in 25 appearances.[3][4] The team also reached the 2021 Segunda División B play-offs, but lost 1–2 to Real Sociedad B in overtime.[5]

On 18 June 2021, Llinares signed a three year-contract with Albacete in the Primera Federación.[3] In his debut season with the club, Llinares made 20 league appearances, helping Albacete to win promotion to the Segunda División through a win over Deportivo de La Coruña in the 2021–22 playoffs.[6] On 25 August 2022, Llinares was sent on loan with a purchase option to Osasuna B.[7][8] Throughout the 2022–23 season, he made 29 league appearances for the side in the Primera Federación.[6] On 22 July 2023, Llinares left Albacete by mutual consent, with one year left on his contract.[9]

Move to Sweden

On 26 July 2023, Llinares signed a three-year contract with Hammarby IF in the Swedish Allsvenskan.[10][11][12] He made his first competitive appearance for Spanish head coach Martí Cifuentes on 20 August the same year, coming on as a substitute in a 0–0 away draw against Kalmar FF.[13] In total, he made 11 league appearances for the side in 2023, although Hammarby disappointedly finished 7th in the table.[14]
