Millonarios has confirmed the arrival of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado through June 30, 2027, a move the club tied directly to the injury that sidelined Jhomier Guerrero. The veteran midfielder’s return to Colombian football now depends on medical exams in Bogotá, but the plan already points to a swift presentation and a possible role in the next league match.
The timing explains why the search around Guillermo has intensified. Cuadrado was traveling on the afternoon of September 14 to undergo medical tests on September 15, and he was expected to be presented after that process. Julián Capera also reported that he could be available for Millonarios vs. Boyacá Chico on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 2:00 P.M., a date that sits in the eleventh round of Liga Colombiana II-2026 and gives the signing immediate weight for Millonarios.
Ariel Michaloutsos said the interest in Cuadrado emerged after Guerrero suffered a fracture of the proximal third of the fibula. That injury was serious enough to alter the club’s thinking, and Michaloutsos said Cuadrado could cover several sectors, including fullback and winger. He framed the signing as the answer to a specific need rather than a luxury move alone, even if the name itself carries the cachet of a player from Colombia’s 2014 World Cup team.
Guerrero, meanwhile, has already shown how hard the setback has landed. He appeared in public on crutches and shared an emotional message with Deuteronomio 31:8, a brief public sign that the recovery will not be immediate. That leaves Cuadrado’s arrival with a clear edge of uncertainty: Millonarios has the deal in place, but the club still has to clear the medical step before it can know whether the reinforcement will be ready for Boyacá Chico.
For Millonarios, the next hours matter more than the announcement itself. If Cuadrado passes the exams and is presented as planned, the signing stops being a headline and becomes a selection decision. If the process slows, the club will have brought in a high-profile name to cover an injury without knowing exactly when he can step on the field.
