Wason Libardo Rentería Cuesta (born 4 July 1985) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays for Brazilian club Clube Atlético Tubarão as a striker.
Born in Quibdó, Rentería began professionally with Boyacá Chicó FC, in 2004. The following year, he was included in the Colombian team that took part in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
After his performances with under-20s, Rentería was transferred to Sport Club Internacional in Brazil. There he showed his flair, usually coming off the bench to score goals in a series of pivotal situations, the first being one that earned a quarterfinal berth in the 2006 edition of the Libertadores Cup which the club would eventually win, at Uruguay's Club Nacional de Football – he hit the ball over an oncoming defender's head with his right foot and first timed it past the goalkeeper with his left one; despite often playing backup to Rafael Sobis, who would then move to Real Betis, he became an important offensive element and a fan favourite.
Rentería's form was, however, cut short by a series of injuries that left him out of the side subsequently. In the 2007 January transfer window he signed for FC Porto in Portugal for R$7,457,400, but all of the fee belonged to a third-party owner; in reverse, International had to pay an additional commission to the football broker. Porto, on the other hand, re-sold 50% of its economic rights on any future transfer.
