Aguilar was born in Medellín, and joined Atlético Nacional's youth setup at the age of 12.[1] On 23 March 2011, while still a youth, he made his first team debut by starting in a 2–0 away loss against Deportivo Rionegro, for the year's Copa Colombia.[2]
In January 2013, after finishing his formation, Aguilar moved to fellow Categoría Primera A side Alianza Petrolera on loan.[3] He made his professional debut on 16 February, starting in a 4–0 away loss against his parent club.[4]
Aguilar scored his first professional goal on 10 April 2013, his team's third in a 4–0 away rout of Cúcuta Deportivo, for the national cup. He then became a regular starter at Alianza before returning to Nacional in January 2016.[5] Initially a backup to Alexis Henríquez and Davinson Sánchez, he became a regular starter after Sánchez's departure to Ajax.
On 15 January 2019, Atlético Nacional announced that they had accepted an offer from Santos for Aguilar.[6] Three days later, he was officially announced as the club's second signing of the season, after agreeing to a four-year contract.[7]
Aguilar made his debut for the club on 27 January 2019, replacing Jean Mota in a 2–0 Campeonato Paulista home win against São Paulo. His first goal abroad came on 7 March, as he scored the last in a 4–0 home win over América-RN, for the year's Copa do Brasil.[8]
Initially a first-choice, Aguilar was demoted to fourth-choice in September 2019 (behind Gustavo Henrique, Lucas Veríssimo and new signing Luan Peres), mainly due to individual errors.[9]
On 18 March 2020, Aguilar agreed to a four-year contract with fellow top tier side Athletico Paranaense,[10] for a rumoured fee of R$ 10 million for 50% of his federative rights.[11]
Aguilar represented Colombia at under-20 level in the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship[12] and the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. On 23 May 2016, he was included in José Pékerman's 23-man list for the Copa América Centenario.[13]
Aguilar made his full international debut on 11 June 2016, starting in a 3–2 loss against Costa Rica at the NRG Stadium in Houston.[14] In that year, he also represented the under-23s, being initially named for the 2016 Summer Olympics but being cut from the final squad due to injury.[15]
