Lozano scored his first senior goal on 15 October 2017, netting his team's second in a 2–2 home draw against Terrassa FC.[2] The following 4 July, after achieving promotion, he renewed his contract until 2023, being definitely promoted to the main squad for the 2019–20 campaign.[3]

Lozano made his professional debut on 15 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergi Darder in a 3–0 home defeat of FC Luzern, for the season's UEFA Europa League.[4] He made his La Liga debut on 7 December, playing the last 18 minutes in a 0–2 loss at Real Madrid.

On 30 August 2021, Lozano was loaned to Segunda División side Girona FC, for one year.[5] He scored his first professional goal four days later, netting his team's only in a 2–1 home loss against Sporting de Gijón.

After starting the 2022–23 season at Espanyol, on 30 January 2023 Lozano joined second division club Granada CF on loan until the end of the season.[6]
