Clemente José Montes Barroilhet (born 25 April 2001) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a forward for Universidad Católica.
Club career
[edit]Universidad Catolica
[edit]Montes joined the Universidad Católica youth academy at just nine years old.[1] In October 2019, he signed his first professional contract and was promptly promoted to the first team.[2][3]
He made his official debut on 30 December 2020, replacing José Pedro Fuenzalida in the 80th minute of a 1-1 draw against Santiago Wanderers.[4] Just days later, on 4 January 2021, Montes scored his first professional goal in a 3-0 victory over Huachipato.[5] On 5 May 2021, he made his Copa Libertadores debut in a 3-1 win against Nacional.[6]
At the end of the 2025 season, Montes extended his contract with the club for two more seasons.[7]
International career
[edit]After being called up to the first training microcycle on 2021 of the Chile senior team by Martín Lasarte,[8] he received his first official call up for the friendly match against Bolivia on 26 March 2021, making his international debut at the minute 87 along with his teammate Ignacio Saavedra.[9] In addition, he was in the Chile squad for the 2021 Copa América, but he didn't make any appearance.[citation needed]
He was included in the squad for the 2023 Pan American Games,[10][11] where Chile won the silver medal.[12]
In 2024, he took part in the Pre-Olympic Tournament by replacing Lautaro Pastrán due to an injury.[13]
Personal life
[edit]He has two cousins – brothers to each other – who are professional footballers: the English-born French-Chilean older brother, Richard Barroilhet,[14] who came to Chile on 2017 to join O'Higgins[15] and the French-Chilean younger brother, Jordan Barroilhet, who came to Chile on 2020 to join Deportes Puerto Montt.[16]
