Juan Camilo Becerra Maya (born 23 February 1998) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in Valledupar, Becerra moved to Spain in July 2016 to play for Granada CF, after impressing in an Udinese Calcio academy in Barranquilla.[1] After impressing with the Juvenil A squad, he made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 May 2017, coming on as a late substitute for compatriot Luis Suárez in a 2–1 Segunda División B home win against Córdoba CF B.
In July 2017, Becerra had his federative rights bought by Watford,[2] and subsequently moved on loan to Real Valladolid Promesas, also in the third division, for one year.[3] In the following two seasons, he also appeared in the same category after representing CD Teruel[4] and UE Cornellà, also on loan.[5] [6]
On 25 August 2020, Becerra signed a three-year contract with RCD Espanyol, and was initially assigned to the B-team also in the third level.[7] On 6 July of the following year, after scoring 11 goals, he moved to Segunda División side SD Ponferradina on a one-year loan deal.[8]
Becerra made his professional debut on 14 August 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Yuri de Souza in a 1–0 home win over AD Alcorcón.[9] The following 31 January, after just 69 minutes of actions in six matches overall, his loan was cut short,[10] and he moved to Primera División RFEF side Gimnàstic de Tarragona just hours later.[11]
