Despite initially coming through América de Cali's youth academy, Sánchez relocated to Medellín and made his professional debut for Atlético Nacional in 2013; collectively, he acheieved four domestic league titles, two Copa Colombia's, a Superliga Colombiana, and a Copa Libertadores during his time with Nacional.

Sánchez joined his new team, after Nacional had finished its participation in the Copa Libertadores.[13] Sánchez debuted with Ajax on 13 August in a 2–2 tie with Roda JC Kerkrade, he started and played the 90 minutes.

On 15 May 2018, Sánchez signed a new contract with Tottenham, keeping him at the club until 2024.[17]
