Club career
Born in the Colombian capital of Bogotá, Velasco began his career with Cortuluá. In late 2019, he and teammate Kener Valencia travelled to Spain to trial with La Liga side Valencia. A year after his return to Colombia, in October 2020, he was loaned to Brazilian side Grêmio on a one-year loan deal with a purchase option. In August 2021, this move was made permanent, and Velasco signed a four-year contract.

In December 2022, Campeonato Brasileiro Série D side Aimoré announced the signing of Velasco on loan for the 2023 season. Having strained his medial collateral ligament, he returned to training with Aimoré in January 2023.
