Nicolás Hernández has joined América de Cali following the conclusion of his contract with Argentina's Banfield. The 27-year-old defender has successfully completed his medical examination and signed with the Diablos Rojos. His current market value stands at 300,000 euros, marking his lowest historical value, as reported by journalist Felipe Sierra. Hernández, who emerged as a promising talent from Atlético Nacional's youth academy, has experienced a decline in his career recently. Although he was a regular starter for Banfield in the latter half of 2024, he did not play at all in 2025. His last official match was a 1-1 draw against Sarmiento on December 13, 2024. Having made a total of 16 appearances for Banfield, Hernández now seeks to regain his form under the leadership of América de Cali's coach, Diego Raimondi.
