The full-back was born on 20 May 1995 in Moscow and began his pro career at CSKA Moscow, making his debut in the 2013/14 season. Loan moves to the Czech Republic to Dukla Prague and FC Jablonec soon followed, before a permanent move to Sparta Prague in 2016 allowed the right back to establish himself in the Czech side’s first team. There he played a total of 44 games, scored 4 goals and made 10 assists, before a transfer to the Eredivisie beckoned.

Karavaev spent two seasons as a regular in the Vitesse first team and has played a total of 65 times there, scoring 2 goals and making 9 assists along the way.

In September 2019, Karavaev moved to Zenit and has played 86 matches, scored 4 goals and made 12 assists while a Zenit player. He has also won three RPL titles, the Russian Cup and two Russian Super Cups.
