Club career
Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Meré joined Sporting de Gijón's youth setup in 2010 after starting out at neighbours Real Oviedo, and he made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2013–14 season (aged only 16), in Segunda División B. On 24 July 2014 he signed a new five-year deal with the club, with a €25 million release clause.
On 11 April he played his first game as a professional, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Real Zaragoza for the Segunda División championship.
Meré appeared in five matches for the first team during the campaign, as they returned to La Liga after a three-year absence. He made his debut in the competition on 23 September 2015, starting in a 1–2 away loss to Rayo Vallecano.
Meré contributed with 25 appearances during 2015–16, overcoming Bernardo Espinosa (who was sidelined due to an injury), Igor Lichnovsky and Ognjen Vranješ as his side avoided relegation in the last matchday.
International career
Meré represented Spain at every age group level, from the under-15 to the under-21s. In 2012 he appeared for the former at the Mexico Cup of Nations, and was part of the under-19 squad who won the UEFA European Championship in 2015; earlier in that year, aged only 18, he earned his first cap for the under-21 team, in a 4–0 win over Belarus.
In May 2016, 19-year-old Meré was called up to the full squad for the first time, for a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
