About the player
Cuesta made his debut for the senior side in 2016, staying until the summer of 2019. On 5 July that year he joined Genk in Belgium for a reported €3.8–4m on a five-year contract. He became one of the club's regular central defenders and remained there until the move to Turkey.
At Galatasaray he signed a contract running to June 2028. His time in Istanbul was short on minutes — nine appearances in the 2024/25 season — but the club won the Turkish title that year.
On 1 September 2025 he moved again, this time on loan to Vasco da Gama for one season. The Brazilian club paid €750,000 for the loan and the agreement includes an obligation to buy for €1.5m. He wears number 46 in Rio, as he did in Istanbul. By early 2026 he had made 32 appearances for Vasco, scoring once and adding two assists.
He has also played six World Cup qualifiers for Colombia without scoring. He is right-footed and plays in the centre of defence. His market value is currently assessed at €5m.
