Career

No transfer history

José Luis Caicedo operates as the Silver Engine in the heart of the midfield for UNAM Pumas. Now 24 and fully embedded in the first-team setup since his permanent promotion in 2023, the Colombian is steadily building his body of work in Mexico. He remains in search of his first major career silverware, but his combative profile and tactical discipline make him a vital asset in the engine room.

The underlying metrics confirm his tireless nature on the pitch. A commanding Workrate score tells the story of a midfielder who covers every blade of grass. Across 18 appearances and 1,283 minutes this season, he consistently anchors the central zones. Earning the INTERCEPTOR badge proves he reads the game brilliantly, stepping in to steal possession and break up opposition transitions. Furthermore, he carries the MAGNET label, ensuring that the team's build-up play heavily flows through his feet. Despite this strong fundamental base, his overall impact is currently going through a quiet spell. A steep drop in recent form, registering no attacking contributions in his last five outings, highlights a player searching for his optimal rhythm.

The broader picture reflects these recent challenges, with his market valuation sitting at €4M. Given that this figure is currently on a downward trend, he faces a defining phase in his career. The immediate objective is to recalibrate his form and re-establish his dominance in the centre of the park.
