Cantillo was born in Río Frío, Zona Bananera, Magdalena, and joined Atlético Nacional's youth setup in 2009, after representing CD Molino Viejo and CSyD Belén San Bernardo.[1] He made his first team debut on 24 April 2013, starting in a 2–0 Copa Colombia away win against Rionegro Águilas.
Cantillo made his Categoría Primera A debut on 26 July 2013, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–2 win at Atlético Huila. Rarely used during the season, he subsequently served loans at Categoría Primera B sides Atlético FC and Leones; with the latter side he scored his first senior goal, netting the equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against América de Cali on 26 September 2014.
On 7 January 2017, Cantillo joined Deportivo Pasto in the top tier, with a buyout clause.[2] On 4 July, after impressing with the side, he signed for Junior from Pasto for a rumoured US$ 1.2 million fee, as the latter side exercised his buyout clause.[3]
An immediate starter, Cantillo became a key unit for the side, winning the national cup and reaching the semifinals of the Copa Sudamericana; he also attracted interest from Udinese after the season ended.[4]
On 9 January 2020, Cantillo joined Corinthians until 2023. He will be loaned until June 2021, when an obligation to buy clause will be activated.[5]
On 16 March 2018, Cantillo was called up by national team manager José Pekerman for friendlies against France and Australia.[6]
He made his debut on 16 November 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Paraguay.[7]
