About the player
At PSV he won three Eredivisie titles and two Johan Cruyff Shields, and the 2017–18 season brought a notable achievement: he was named Eredivisie Player of the Year before Atlético Madrid signed him to bring him to Spain.
His time in Madrid included a UEFA Super Cup medal, but injuries repeatedly interrupted his progress. A year later, on loan at Granada, a hamstring problem required surgery.
A free transfer to FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer brought a Supporters' Shield, and a move to Bahia in Brazil produced a Copa do Nordeste goal and, in 2025, a title in that competition after Bahia beat Confiança in the final. He signed for Independiente as a free agent in January 2026.
He was part of the squad that finished third at the 2016 Copa América Centenario, and he reached another final with Colombia at the 2024 Copa América, where the team lost to Argentina.
