Club career
Born in Guernica, Biscay, Basque Country, Villalibre joined Athletic Bilbao's youth setup in 2011. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2013–14 season, scoring in his Tercera División debut at the age of 15.
In May 2015, after a further 20 goals for the third side, Villalibre was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División – he had already represented them the previous campaign, in Segunda División B. He made his professional debut on 24 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gorka Santamaría in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC.
Villalibre scored his first professional goal for Bilbao Athletic on 6 September 2015, netting the last in a 3–1 home win over RCD Mallorca. At 17 years and 341 days, this made him the second-youngest goalscorer for the team when competing in the second level (behind Ander Garitano's 17 years and 198 days in 1986).
On 3 December 2016, Villalibre was called up to the first team for the Basque derby against SD Eibar, with habitual first-choice Aritz Aduriz suspended after being sent off in the previous league match. He made his La Liga debut the following day, replacing Iñaki Williams after 84 minutes and, having entered the pitch with a 2–1 lead, he provided the assist for Iker Muniain who netted the final 3–1 in injury time.
On 8 December 2016, Villalibre appeared in his first game in European competition, again contributing with a decisive pass in a 1–1 away draw to SK Rapid Wien for the UEFA Europa League group stage, after once again having come on from the bench. He was loaned out to CD Numancia on 2 May of the following year, for one month.
On 20 August 2017, Villalibre was loaned to second division club Real Valladolid for one year.
