The following season, he won the 2018 Superliga Colombiana and played in his first international competition, as well as scoring his first goal. On 31 July 2019, he extended his contract with Millonarios until 2022.[2] On 16 February 2022, Román accepted a move to the Argentine club Boca Juniors.[2] 2 days later, he failed his medical with the club and returned to Millonarios. At Millonarios he had another examination, which rules out a genetic condition and allowed him to play professionally.[3] On 15 June 2022, he transferred to Atlético Nacional on a 1 year contract with option to extend for 3 years.[4] On 15 January 2023, his contract was extended until 2026.[5]
