Club career

América de Cali

Born in Cali, Andrade developed in the youth system of América de Cali. He made his professional debut on 29 August 2018, aged 19, in a 2–0 defeat against Leones in the Copa Colombia.

Andrade was part of the América squads that won the 2019 Finalización and the 2020 Categoría Primera A. He scored his first professional goal on 24 March 2021, equalising during a 2–1 league defeat against Independiente Medellín. During the 2021 season, he made 35 league appearances and also represented América in the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and Superliga Colombiana.

On 4 February 2022, Andrade joined Argentine Primera División club Platense on loan. The agreement was initially scheduled to run until December 2022 and included options for Platense to acquire either 50 or 80 per cent of his rights. He made nine league appearances and scored once before returning to América during the same year.

After his return, Andrade became a regular starter for América. He made 20 league appearances and scored once during 2022, followed by 43 appearances and one goal in 2023. He left the club in January 2024, having made 119 senior appearances and scored three goals in all competitions.

Baltika Kaliningrad

On 17 January 2024, Andrade signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Russian Premier League club Baltika Kaliningrad. He made his Russian Premier League debut on 3 March, starting in a match against Sochi.

On 14 May 2024, Andrade scored the only goal in Baltika's 1–0 victory over Spartak Moscow in the Regions Path final of the 2023–24 Russian Cup. The result sent Baltika to the Russian Cup final for the first time in the club's history. Baltika were defeated 2–1 by Zenit Saint Petersburg in the 2024 Russian Cup final on 2 June. Baltika were also relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2023–24 season.

Andrade remained with the club in the Russian First League and made 31 league appearances during the 2024–25 season. Baltika won the division and secured an immediate return to the Premier League. He subsequently played 26 league matches in 2025–26 as Baltika finished sixth in the Premier League. Across his two-and-a-half seasons in Kaliningrad, he made 83 appearances and scored three goals in all competitions.

Zenit Saint Petersburg

Andrade made his competitive debut for Zenit on 18 July, coming on during the second half of the 2026 Russian Super Cup against Spartak Moscow. The match finished 1–1 before Zenit won the penalty shoot-out 4–2.

He scored his first Zenit goal on 5 August, heading in during the second minute of a 1–0 Russian Cup victory over his former club Baltika. On 12 September, he scored his first Premier League goal for the club, equalising in a 2–1 home victory over Lokomotiv Moscow.
