Alexis Castillo Manyoma (born 30 January 2003) is a Colombian professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids, on loan from Primera División club Estudiantes de La Plata.

Club career

In February 2023, following the conclusion of the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, Manyoma was linked with a move to Categoría Primera A side Independiente Santa Fe. Manyoma had already reportedly signed for Independiente Santa Fe, with the club officially announcing him as their player for the 2023 season in December 2022.[2][3] Given his high potential, the deal included a clause which would allow him to leave if an offer from an overseas club came in.[4]

However, his coaches at Cortuluá decided that he would get more minutes in the Colombian second division, in the hopes that he would then be called up for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and cancelled the deal with Independiente Santa Fe.[5]

On August 12, 2023, an agreement was announced by Argentine Primera División side Estudiantes de La Plata to sign Manyoma. A post published on Estudiantes' social media accounts the same day unveiled Manyoma was signed to a 4 year contract through 2027.[6]

On 8 August 2025, Manyoma joined MLS side Colorado Rapids on a one-year loan, with an option for a permanent transfer.[7]

International career

Having represented Colombia at the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, Manyoma was again called up to the squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He gave an interview before Colombia's opening game against Israel, stating that it was "very important start with a win; [as] it gives the team a lot of confidence for the following games".[8]
