Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Born in Rioverde, García began his career at local side Ciudadelas del Norte in 2016, aged just 15, in the Segunda Categoría.

Independiente del Valle

[edit]

García joined Independiente del Valle's youth setup in 2018, playing for the under-18 and under-20 squads and winning the 2020 U-20 Copa Libertadores with the latter. Later in that year, he made his senior debut with the reserve team Independiente Juniors in the Ecuadorian Serie B.

García made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 30 August 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gabriel Torres in a 3–0 home win over Guayaquil City.[1] He scored his first professional goal the following 1 August, netting his team's fourth in a 4–0 home routing of Macará.[2]

Athletico Paranaense

[edit]

On 22 January 2022, García moved abroad and signed a four-year contract with Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense.[3] On 12 May 2023, he and teammate Pedrinho were fired from the club, after having their names linked to the 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal.[4]

Involvement in match-fixing scandal

[edit]

On 22 May 2023, García reached an agreement with the Public Ministry of Goiás to become a witness in the investigation; he admitted to have received a financial compensation to receive a yellow card in a match against Fluminense, in the 25th round of the 2022 Série A.[5]
