[2][3] Rentería's form was, however, cut short by a series of injuries that left him out of the side, also causing him to miss the entire 2006 FIFA Club World Cup.
[4] In the 2007 January transfer window he signed for FC Porto for R$7,457,400, but all of the fee belonged to a third-party owner; in reverse, International had to pay an additional commission to the football broker.
[9] In January 2011, Rentería returned to his country after a six-year absence, signing with Once Caldas, where he was an important player and scored 10 goals in 14 games as his club finished top of the table in the regular season.
[11] Shortly after the 2011 Apertura, he left the club and joined Mexico's Cruz Azul for three years; however, just days after arriving, he rescinded his contract after failing his medical.
[12] Subsequently, Rentería returned to Brazil and signed with Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul, being loaned to Santos FC until December 2011 or June 2012.
