Liverpool
Born in Valencia, Spain, Chirivella developed his trade at the academy of local club Valencia where he captained the club at various youth levels. During his time with Valencia, Chirivella was scouted by a number of European clubs but it was Liverpool who signed him in 2013 along with fellow Spaniard Sergi Canós from Barcelona. In order to aid Chirivella's transition to England, Liverpool moved his family down from Spain and provided them with work and accommodation. He joined up with Liverpool's academy and on 7 July 2014 was one of seven youngsters to be handed a professional contract by the club.
2015–16 season
Chirivella received his first taste of senior football when he was included in club manager Brendan Rodgers' squad for Liverpool's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia. During the tour he made his non-competitive debut for Liverpool, coming on as a second-half substitute against HJK Helsinki. He received his first competitive call up later in the season for Liverpool's UEFA Europa League group stage match against Bordeaux on 17 September 2015. In the 28th-minute, following an injury to centre-back Kolo Touré, Chirivella was brought on to make his debut and played out the remainder of a 1–1 draw at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux. His next appearance for the club saw him make his FA Cup debut under new manager Jürgen Klopp on 8 January 2016 when he came on as a substitute in a third round match against Exeter City. Liverpool ultimately progressed in the Cup which afforded Chirivella the opportunity to make his first start for the club on 9 February 2016 in a 2–1 defeat against West Ham United in the fourth round replay. Chirivella then signed a new contract with Liverpool on 9 March before making his Premier League debut towards the back end of the season, starting in a 3–1 loss against Swansea City on 1 May.
2016–17 season: Loan to Go Ahead Eagles
On 6 January 2017, Liverpool announced that Chirivella, who had spent the first half of the season playing for the club's U23 side, would spend the remainder of the season on loan at Eredivisie club, Go Ahead Eagles in order to gain more first team experience. He made his debut for the club on 13 January 2017, playing the full match in a 3–1 defeat to AZ Alkmaar. The following week, Chirivella scored his first professional goal, heading in the opener from Jarchinio Antonia's cross in a 1–1 draw with Excelsior. He ultimately made 17 appearances for the campaign and scored twice but could not help prevent the club avoid relegation at the end of the season.
2017–18 season: Loan to Willem II
On 26 July 2017, Chirivella return to Netherlands after being loaned to Willem II for the season. He made his debut for the club on 13 August, starting in a 2–1 defeat to Excelsior.
