Biography

Valdez began his professional career in 2005 at Real Cartagena , where he managed to play 33 matches in a year. After impressive results with Real Madrid, Valdes moved to America for 4 years in 2006, where he took part in 97 matches and scored 4 goals. Thanks to successful performances in “America,” Valdez was drafted in 2008 in the national team of Colombia . In 2009, Carlos moved to Santa Fe , where he was recognized as the best defender.

On January 20, 2011, Valdes officially signed a contract with the club from MLS “ Philadelphia Union ” ^[1] for one year. For this team he made his debut on March 19, 2011 against the Houston Dynamo (1-0) ^[2] . In the 7th round of the 2011 season, Valdez was included in the “Team of the week MLS” ^[3] . On August 5, 2011, Union announced that the club had completely redeemed the rights to Valdes from its former Santa Fe club.

In 2013, Valdes returned on loan to Santa Fe. The following year, the Colombian went on loan again, this time to the Argentinean San Lorenzo. Most notably, his performance in the 2014 Libertadores Cup draw - Valdes played three matches in the group stage and all four playoff matches (in 1/8 and 1/4 finals), after which there was a break related to the World Cup in Brazil. On August 1, Valdes returned to the location of the Philadelphia Union, and his former partners made it to the Libertadores Cup finals without defeating Bolivar in the semifinals. Valdes can become the winner of the tournament after the fact, if in the final the Argentine team defeats the Paraguayan Nacional .
