Club career
Early career
Born in Granollers, Barcelona, Catalonia, to Bolivian parents, Cuéllar joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in June 2015, from FC Racing Blanenc. In 2017, he moved abroad and joined Italian side S.P.A.L.
S.P.A.L.
After appearing for the under-17s and the Primavera squads, Cuéllar made his first team debut for the Biancazzurri on 4 December 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Sergio Floccari in a 5–1 Coppa Italia home routing of Lecce. He made his Serie A debut the following 22 July, replacing Espeto late into a 1–6 home loss to Roma.
On 3 August 2021, Cuéllar announced his departure from SPAL through his Facebook account.
Lugo
On 4 August 2021, Cuéllar returned to Spain after agreeing to a two-year deal with Segunda División side CD Lugo.
Loan to Barcelona
On 26 August 2023, he returned to Barcelona to play for its reserve Barcelona B team on a loan spell for a year, making history as the first Bolivian to play for any Barcelona team.
International career
Cuéllar represented Bolivia at under-17 level in 2017, and received his first call-up to the full side on 4 October 2020. The following 10 June, he was included in César Farías' 27-man squad for the 2021 Copa América.
Cuéllar made his full international debut during the competition, starting against Paraguay. However, his debut didn't go to plan, as he was sent off, and Bolivia lost the match 3-1.
