São Caetano and San Lorenzo

Early career

Montero began his career in Brazil, joining São Caetano in 2013 as part of his early professional development. Although he made appearances for the club, his time there primarily served as the foundation for his path into senior football abroad. In July 2015, following his participation with Colombia at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Montero signed for Argentine club San Lorenzo on a four-year contract, arriving as one of the standout young goalkeepers from the youth tournament. Despite his contract, Montero did not make a senior league appearance for the club. In an interview conducted during his time at San Lorenzo, he spoke of the experience of adapting to Argentine football, citing Mario Yepes as a reference for how Colombian players could succeed abroad.

During his time with the under-20 national team, Montero established himself as one of the more prominent goalkeeping prospects of his generation in Colombian football.

Senior career

Montero made his senior debut for the Colombia national team on 3 June 2019 in a friendly against Panama, coming on as a 77th-minute substitute for David Ospina in a 3–0 victory. Later that month, he was included in Colombia's squad for the 2019 Copa América in Brazil. With the team having already secured qualification to the knockout stage, Montero started the final group-stage match against Paraguay, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 win as Colombia advanced with a perfect record before being eliminated in the quarter-finals. After several years on the fringes of the senior side, Montero re-emerged as a regular squad member during Néstor Lorenzo's tenure as Colombia manager.
