The 43-year-old, apart from Real Madrid, had spells at Real Valladolid, Levante, Sporting Gijón and Recreativo de Huelva before taking on a role in the Spanish television program ‘El Chiringuito de Jugones’ after retiring.
Congo arrived in Spain in 1999 when he joined Los Blancos de Once Caldas in exchange for five million euros, an agreement that made him the most expensive transfer in the history of Colombian football at the time.
After failing to convince at Real Madrid, he was loaned out at Real Valladolid, where he played 14 times and scored once. He then joined the Portuguese team Vitoria Guimaraes, scoring four goals in 10 games, before signing for Toulouse.
In recent years, Edwin Congo has had the opportunity to represent the Real Madrid Legends in charity games.
