Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Olavide graduated from CA Osasuna's youth setup. He made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2013–14 campaign in the Tercera División.[1]

On 15 November 2014 Olavide made his first-team debut, replacing fellow youth graduate Maikel Mesa in a 0–1 home loss against SD Ponferradina in the Segunda División, being also sent off in the 89th minute.[2] The following 29 August, he renewed his contract until 2019.[3]

Olavide contributed with 30 appearances during the 2015–16 season, as his side achieved promotion to La Liga through the play-offs. He made his debut in the category on 22 September 2016, replacing Álex Berenguer in a 1–2 home loss against RCD Espanyol.[4]

On 7 May 2017, Olavide scored his first professional goal, but in a 1–4 loss at Valencia CF. On 29 August, he extended his contract until 2019 and was immediately loaned to Sevilla Atlético in the second division, for one year.[5]
