Club career

Deportivo Pasto

2011-2012

A product of Deportivo Pasto's youth ranks, Juan José spent his first two seasons as a senior with Deportivo Pasto, scoring 4 goals; 3 in a Copa Colombia and 1 in the Categoría Primera B. He debuted for Deportivo Pasto in the Categoría Primera B on 9 March 2011 (at only 16 years and 25 days of age, making him the youngest in Pasto's history to debut)^[3] and in the Categoría Primera A on 28 April 2012.^[4]

Juan went through a trial at Tottenham Hotspur in late 2011, where he gained experience and learned many things from many footballing figures such as Gareth Bale. Despite not being signed, Juan was highlighted as a very promising young talent.^{[citation needed]}

Real Madrid

2012-

In November 2012 Narváez was moved to youth academy of Real Madrid.^[5] He was highly recommended by Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane himself to take under their youth system. Juan was highly viewed as the next 'Falcao' due to his goal scoring abilities.^[6] Narváez made his debut for the club in the 2013 Copa de Juvenil, where he scored 2 goals in 3 appearances, winning the cup in the process, although he did not play in the final. He made his official league debut on 28 January, playing all game in a 3–0 win over Zamalek SC on Alkass International Cup.^[7]

Narvaez made his UEFA Youth League debut against Galatasaray, as he managed to score the tying goal in a 1-1 draw. As of September 21, he has scored 6 goals in 3 appearances for the U-17 squad of Real Madrid.^[8]

"He's a kid that's grown up in such little time. In the campaigns with the lower squads, he's doing great. But realistically, the competition isn't as high as the UEFA Youth League, where the quality around players his age is high. While he plays mostly with our reserved squads, he's improving in the process and contributing in more ways than one as we try to take advantage at certain times."

Alberto Toril after Narvaez's debut for Real Madrid Castilla.^[9]

Narvaez scored another goal against Rayo Vallecano in a 2-0 victory a week later.^[10] During the international break in October, Narvaez scored his first hattrick for the club in a 6-1 win against Don Bosco.^[11]^[12]

In the UEFA Youth League match against Juventus, Narvaez scored an astonishing 4 goals, one with a penalty and while also assisting the 4th goal all in a 6-2 victory. This makes him joint top scorer with 5 goals so far.^[13]

In his third match representing the C team, Narvaez scored his first goal against CF Fuenlabrada, in the 82nd minute.^[14]

Narvaez was once again promoted, this time, into Real Madrid Castilla where he came off the bench in the 88th minute while wearing the 31 jersey.^[15]
