Club career
Born in Santiago de Chile, Retamal is a product of Universidad de Chile. Despite he was on the substitutes bench in some matches for the first team during 2023, he was officially promoted under Gustavo Álvarez in 2024. He made his professional debut in the 0–1 away win against Unión Española on 7 April 2024 for the Chilean Primera División.[2][3] In August of the same year, he suffered a serious meniscus tear.[4]
In March 2025, Retamal was loaned out to Universidad de Concepción[5] and returned to Universidad de Chile for the second half of the year,[6] taking part in the 2025 Copa Sudamericana.[7]
Once Universidad de Concepción won the 2025 Liga de Ascenso and returned to the Chilean top division, Retamal rejoined them on loan for the 2026 season.[8][9]
