# Santiago Tréllez

Santiago Tréllez Vivero (born 17 January 1990) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Brazilian club Operário-PR.

## Club career
### Early career

Born in Medellín, Tréllez started his career with Envigado before moving to hometown club Independiente Medellín. After impressing during the 2007 South American Under-17 Football Championship and the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup, he joined Flamengo, but documentation and financial problems limited his appearances.
In 2008, Tréllez joined Vélez Sarsfield; initially playing for the reserves, he was only a backup option to starter Santiago Silva, and later suffered a knee injury which kept him out for several months. After not making his first team breakthrough, he returned to Colombia and Independiente Medellín, agreeing to a contract with the club in January 2011.
Tréllez made his debut for the club on 6 February 2011, starting in a 2–1 away loss against Itagüí Ditaires. Late in the month he scored his first senior goals, netting a brace in a 3–3 home draw against Millonarios.

### Mexico

On 10 July 2012, Tréllez switched teams and countries again, after signing for Liga MX side San Luis. A regular starter, he was sold to Chiapas and immediately loaned to Monarcas Morelia for one year; a backup for the latter in the league, he featured regularly in the Copa MX as his side was crowned champions.

### Atlético Nacional and loans

On 14 January 2014, Tréllez was loaned to Atlético Nacional for one-year, with a buyout clause. He was bought outright by the club in the following year, but was loaned to Libertad on 17 January 2015.

### Arsenal de Sarandí

Tréllez rescinded with Libertad in July 2015, and subsequently signed a one-year contract with Arsenal de Sarandí. The following 12 January, after only two goals in seven matches, he was loaned to La Equidad for one year.

### Deportivo Pasto

On 21 February 2017, Tréllez was announced at Deportivo Pasto. An immediate starter, he scored nine times in 17 matches; highlights included braces against Cortuluá, Independiente Santa Fe and Once Caldas.

### Vitória

On 17 July 2017, Tréllez signed an 18-month contract with Série A team Vitória. He made his debut for the club three days later by starting in a 3–1 home loss against Grêmio, and scored his first goals on 3 August in a 3–1 home defeat of Ponte Preta.
On 19 August 2017, Tréllez scored the only goal in an away success over Corinthians, ending the club's 34-match unbeaten run. On 26 November, he scored another brace against Ponte, netting twice in the 3–2 away win but later being booked and subsequently suspended for the last round; the club still managed to avoid relegation nonetheless.

### São Paulo

On 27 January 2018, it was announced that São Paulo has reached an agreement with Vitória for the signing of Tréllez. Tricolor Paulista paid R$ 6 million to Rubro-Negro Baiano to sign with them new forward, under a four-year contract

## Personal life
