Atlético Nacional
As a youth, Sánchez played in the youth academy of América de Cali, but after his parents moved he transferred to Atlético Nacional, where he was educated under the wings of Juan Carlos Osorio. The defender made his debut for the senior team on 27 October 2013, in a 0–1 loss to Boyacá Chicó. Osorio put the player in the starting lineup and he completed the entire match.
On 2 March 2016, Sánchez scored his first goal for Atlético in a 3–0 victory over Sporting Cristal from Peru in the Copa Libertadores. Due to his performances for Atlético, foreign clubs including Barcelona, Flamengo, and Ajax showed an interest in signing the player. Barcelona made a formal offer to sign the player, but Sánchez declined the offer because he didn't want to start in FC Barcelona B, the reserve team.
Ajax
In June 2016, Sánchez signed a five-year contract with Dutch side Ajax, until 2021. The club paid a transfer fee of €5 million to Atlético Nacional. A few days earlier, Ajax had signed Sánchez' compatriot Mateo Cassierra, thus making him the second Colombian in the squad. Sánchez joined his new team after Nacional finishes its participation in the Copa Libertadores. He won the Copa Libertadores 2016 against Ecuadorian Independiente del Valle.
