Club career
Early career
Born in Medellín, Antioquia, Villarreal began his career in Cali at the age of six with EF Leones del Sur. He subsequently represented América de Cali before having a six-season spell in the youth sides of Deportivo Cali.[3]
Santos
On 7 March 2024, Villarreal agreed to a deal with Brazilian club Santos,[4] but his registration was not made on time as the Profeta only had an amateur deal at Deportivo Cali, which delayed the transfer clearance.[5] He was only officially registered in July, and also trained with the first team squad;[6] Cali also retained 10% of his economic rights.[7]
Villarreal made his professional debut with Peixe on 17 August 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute for João Schmidt in a 1–0 Série B home loss to Avaí.[8]
