Club career

Montes joined the Universidad Católica youth academy at just nine years old. In October 2019, he signed his first professional contract and was promptly promoted to the first team.
He made his official debut on December 30, 2020, replacing José Pedro Fuenzalida in the 80th minute of a 1-1 draw against Santiago Wanderers. Just days later, on January 4, 2021, Montes scored his first professional goal in a 3-0 victory over Huachipato. On May 5, 2021, he made his Copa Libertadores debut in a 3-1 win against Nacional.
At the end of the 2025 season, Montes extended his contract with the club for two more seasons.

After being called up to the first training microcycle on 2021 of the Chile senior team by Martín Lasarte, he received his first official call up for the friendly match against Bolivia on March 26, 2021, making his international debut at the minute 87 along with his teammate Ignacio Saavedra. In addition, he was in the Chile squad for the 2021 Copa América, but he didn't make any appearance.
He was included in the squad for the 2023 Pan American Games, where Chile won the silver medal.
In 2024, he took part in the Pre-Olympic Tournament by replacing Lautaro Pastrán due to an injury.

He has two cousins – brothers to each other – who are professional footballers: the English-born French-Chilean older brother, Richard Barroilhet, who came to Chile on 2017 to join O'Higgins and the French-Chilean younger brother, Jordan Barroilhet, who came to Chile on 2020 to join Deportes Puerto Montt.
