Shortly after the 2023 Apertura finals, which Nacional lost to rivals Millonarios, Nacional terminated Candelo's contract. It was rumored that this decision was taken because of a situation that happened in the closing minutes of the second leg of the finals, where mainly Candelo and Dorlan Pabón prevented two substitutions, against the decisions of manager Paulo Autuori, whose idea was to bring these players on for the penalty shootout. However, Candelo states that he never had anything to do with the substitutions, and that the club said they wanted to prioritize their younger players.[4][5]
