On 20 August 2022, Cabal signed for Serie A club Hellas Verona. [3] In his first season, he played only twelve games and was used as a back-up centre-back. [4] Cabal played 30 minutes in the relegation play-off game against Spezia, which Verona won. [4] Cabal emerged during the second half of the 2023–24 season, where he was deployed as a left-back in Marco Baroni's four-man defence. [4]

On 18 July 2024, Cabal joined fellow Serie A club Juventus on a five-year contract. [2] In November that year, he sustained an ACL injury in his left knee which sidelined him for the rest of the 2024–25 season. [5]

International career

On 10 September 2024, Cabal debuted for the Colombia national team a 2026 World Cup qualification against Argentina at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez, replacing Yerson Mosquera in the 88th minute; the match ended in a 2–1 victory for the Colombians. [6]
