Club career
Born in Bienvenida, Badajoz, Extremadura, Astals moved to Sabadell, Barcelona, Catalonia aged only two months due to a family issue, and joined CE Sabadell FC's youth setup after representing CA Polinyà. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 22 December 2019, playing the last 31 minutes in a 0–1 Segona Catalana away loss against CE Sallent.
Astals made his first team debut on 19 September 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Héber Pena in a 1–2 loss at Rayo Vallecano in the Segunda División championship; by doing so, he became the first player born in the 21st century to appear for the club. Three days later, he renewed his contract with the club for a further two seasons.
Astals became a regular starter in the 2022-23 season playing as a right-back. He made even more appearances the following season, in which he produced seven assists. After Sabadell were relegated to the forth tier, he signed a two-year deal with third tier Ibiza.
