Club career

Born in Cartagena, Berrío played for Expreso Rojo and Atlético Nacional as a youth.[1] He made his first team – and Categoría Primera A – debut on 22 February 2009, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Deportes Quindío.

Berrío scored his first professional goal on 8 April 2010, in a 2–0 home win against América de Cali. Three days later, he netted a brace in an away success over Cortuluá, for the same scoreline.

Sparingly used, Berrío was loaned to fellow top tier club Millonarios on 3 January 2012.[2] On 3 August 2012, after failing to score a single goal for the club, he was loaned to Patriotas for one year.[3]

Returning to Nacional, Berrío was regularly utilized by new manager Juan Carlos Osorio.

Flamengo

On 27 January 2017, Flamengo agreed to pay US$3.5 million to Atlético Nacional to sign Berrío.[4][5] Berrío debuted for Flamengo in a Primeira Liga match against Grêmio on 8 February 2017, replacing Federico Mancuello in the 62nd minute and scoring his first goal for his new club in the 78th minute, while Flamengo won 2–0.[6]

On 22 October 2017, in a Brazilian Série A match against São Paulo at Pacaembu Stadium, Berrío suffered a knee injury that later was confirmed as an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[7] In the same week, he underwent surgery, causing him to miss the rest of the 2017 season.[8]

Khor Fakkan

On 19 July 2020, Berrío signed with Khor Fakkan .[9]

International career

In August 2016, Berrío was named in Colombia's squad for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Brazil.[10] He did not play in either match, and only made his full international debut on 6 October, coming on as a substitute for Juan Cuadrado in a 1–0 away win against Paraguay.
