Club career

Born in Shushufindi, Sucumbíos, Preciado joined Independiente del Valle's youth setup in 2015, from América de Quito.[3] In February 2018, during the semifinals of the 2018 U-20 Copa Libertadores, he went viral after using the corner flag to defend himself from a fight with the River Plate Montevideo players.[4]

Promoted to the first team after playing a short period in the reserve team, Alianza Cotopaxi, Preciado made his senior – and Serie A – debut on 9 July 2018, starting in a 3–1 away loss against Aucas. He soon became a regular starter, and scored his first goals on 25 August by netting a brace in a 4–2 home defeat of El Nacional.[5]

On 28 December 2020, Belgian Pro League club Genk announced the signing of Preciado on a two-and-a-half-year contract, with an option for a further two years,[6] for a reported fee of €3 million.[7] He made his debut for the Belgian club on 16 January 2021, starting in a 2–0 away loss at Royal Excel Mouscron.[8]

On 4 September 2023, Czech First League club Sparta Prague announced the signing of Preciado on a long-term contract (the specific duration was undisclosed),[9] for a reported fee of €2.5 million, which could increase to €3 million with add-ons.[10]

On 15 February 2024, Preciado scored his first goal in the UEFA Europa League against Galatasaray.[11]

International career

On 4 May 2017, Preciado was called up to Ecuador under-20s for the year's FIFA U-20 World Cup,[12] On 30 August of the following year, he was called up to the full side by manager Hernán Darío Gómez, for two friendlies against Jamaica and Guatemala.[13]

Preciado made his full international debut on 12 October 2018, replacing Independiente teammate Stiven Plaza in a 4–3 loss against Qatar at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha.[14]
