On 26 August 2013, Germán signed a new four-year deal with the Catalans, being also promoted to the main squad. On 8 December he played his first game as a professional, starting in a 2–2 away draw against Real Jaén in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.
Germán first appeared in La Liga on 6 April 2014, taking the place of suspended Kiko Casilla in a 1–4 loss at Sevilla FC. On 22 January of the following year, after losing his backup position to another youth graduate, Pau López, he was loaned to Segunda División club Racing de Santander until June.
On 18 August 2015, Germán moved to fellow league team Girona FC in a season-long loan deal. He played understudy to Isaac Becerra during his spell, and terminated his contract with Espanyol on 5 August 2016.
On 6 August 2016, Germán returned to his first club Elche. The following summer, he signed for UCAM Murcia CF in Segunda División B; two years later, he joined UD Ibiza in the same league, agreeing to a contract until 30 June 2020 with the option for an additional season.
