🔥Nacional's new engine: Juan Manuel Rengifo's rise | OneFootball

Juan Manuel Rengifo’s development process at Atlético Nacional has reached its point of maturity. The Verdolaga playmaker is enjoying his most productive half-season since joining the first team, establishing himself as an untouchable piece in Diego Arias’s system. His recent goal against Deportivo Pasto was no coincidence, but rather the reflection of an evolution that combines goalscoring efficiency and vision of play.

Staggering numbers: Surpassing his own record

So far in the 2026-I tournament, Rengifo has already surpassed his previous numbers. With 5 goals and 3 assists in just 14 matches, the midfielder has shown greater effectiveness than in his debut campaign. His victims this semester include giants such as América de Cali and Junior de Barranquilla, proving that the responsibility does not weigh on him in high-pressure scenarios.

From promise to market reality

Beyond finishing plays, his partnership with figures like Alfredo Morelos positions him as a top-class provider. With a market value now approaching €2.5 million, Rengifo has stopped being a promise and become the brightest reality in Colombian football today.
