Club career

Early career

Born in Medellín, Uribe was formed at Envigado FC. As first-team opportunities were limited, he played a year in the regional league of Antioquia Department, and his first professional games at Deportivo Español in the Primera B Metropolitana, on the third tier of the Argentine football league system. He scored twice in four games during his experience in Buenos Aires. On returning home, he played regularly in the Categoría Primera A for Envigado, Deportes Tolima and Atlético Nacional.[2]

América

On 1 August 2017, Uribe joined Club América of the Mexican Liga MX.[3] He scored 14 goals across all competitions in his first season in Mexico City,[2] including two in a 4–1 win at Pumas UNAM on 3 May 2018 in the Clausura Liguilla quarter-finals.[4] He was named in the 2018 Clausura Best XI.[5]

Porto

Uribe joined Portuguese club FC Porto on 4 August 2019, on a four-year deal for a €10 million fee, earning a net annual salary of €3 million.[6] Nine days later, he made his debut for the Dragons in their UEFA Champions League first qualifying round second leg at home to FC Krasnodar; he came on in the 49th minute for the injured Sérgio Oliveira in a 3–2 loss (3–3 aggregate draw and elimination on away goals).[7]

Uribe scored his first goal for Porto – already crowned champions – to open a 2–1 loss at S.C. Braga on 25 July 2020, the last day of the season. However, he was substituted with injury moments later.[8]

International career

Uribe made his debut for the Colombia national team on 25 January 2017, against Brazil at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro. He played the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 defeat.[9]

On 4 June 2018, Uribe was named in Colombia's final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[10] He played in three of Colombia's four matches in the tournament, starting the game against Senegal.[11] Uribe hit the crossbar with his penalty during Colombia's 4–3 penalty shootout defeat against England in the round of 16, after the game had finished 1–1 after extra time.[12]

Uribe scored his first international goals on 9 June 2019, two of a 3–0 friendly win away to Peru ahead of his participation in the Copa América tournament in Brazil.[13]
