Born in Martos, Jaén, Andalusia, Caballero joined Córdoba CF's youth setup in 2017, from hometown side Real Jaén. He made his debut with the former's reserves on 7 January 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–2 Tercera División home loss against Écija Balompié.[1]

In the 2019 summer, Caballero moved to UD Almería and returned to the youth setup.[2] He scored his first senior goal with the B-side on 22 November 2020, netting the third of a 4–0 home routing of Loja CD.[3]

Caballero scored ten times for the B's during the 2020–21 season, and spent the 2021 pre-season with the main squad.[4] He made his professional debut on 29 August, replacing Largie Ramazani late into a 1–2 away loss against SD Amorebieta in the Segunda División.[5]
