Alberto Morientes Palencia (born 14 November 2006) is a Spanish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Atlético Albacete.
Born in Sonseca, Toledo, CastillaâÂÂLa Mancha, Morientes joined Albacete Balompié's youth sides in 2022, from hometown club CD Sonseca. After scoring in a regular basis for the youth categories, he was promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2025âÂÂ26 season, in Tercera Federación, and made his senior debut on 6 September by coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3âÂÂ1 away win over Calvo Sotelo Puertollano CF.
Morientes scored his first senior goal on 12 October 2025, netting the B's opener in a 2âÂÂ1 home win over CD Marchamalo. He made his first team debut on 21 November, replacing Dani Escriche late into a 2âÂÂ1 Segunda División away loss to UD Las Palmas; by doing so, he repeated the feat of his uncle 32 years later.
Morientes' uncle Fernando was also a footballer. A notorious striker, he too was part of the youth academy at Albacete.
