Cristian David Echavarría Vélez (born 10 July 1997) is a Colombian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Career
He was a youth champion with Independiente Medellín.[2]
In 2017, he was brought to Europe alongside Ever Valencia on loan from Independiente Medellín to Wisła Kraków, having already spent a few months in Mexico's Venados. Valencia had been discovered at the 2017 South American U-20 Championship squads, whereas Echavarría was brought along. The loan took a long time to formalize, and the players' acclimatization was very slow. As a result, Echavarría never played or even appeared on the bench. In addition, the two players committed a faux pas online, as they visited Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and took photographs "with wide-eyed smiles, failing to maintain even the slightest pretense of seriousness", being "apparently unaware of what had happened there".[3]
Echavarría remained in Europe, however. In June 2017, Echavarría signed for SJK.[4]
In 2018 he played for Patriotas Boyacá, returning as a free agent to Independiente Medellín in 2019.[5] After the 2019 season, a loan was negotiated with Jaguares de Córdoba.[2][6]
