On 17 December 2019, after finishing his formation, Baena renewed with the Verdiblancos until 2022.[3] He was a regular starter during that campaign onwards, helping in the B's promotion to the third division and subsequent qualification to the newly-created Primera División RFEF.
On 29 June 2022, Baena signed a three-year contract with Segunda División side CD Lugo.[4] He made his professional debut on 15 August, starting in a 2–1 home loss against Albacete Balompié.[5] Baena scored his first professional goal on 2 October 2022, netting his team's second in a 3–2 loss at UD Ibiza.
On 17 July 2023, he moved to Polish second division side Wisła Kraków on a two-year deal.[6] He was named in the starting line-up for the 2023–24 Polish Cup final against Pogoń Szczecin on 2 May 2024, eventually won by Wisła 2–1 after extra time.[7]
