In 2018, Colombo represented Argentina at the L'Alcúdia International Tournament in Spain.[8][9] He made five appearances as they won the trophy.[10][11] In the months prior, Colombo had trained against the seniors at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[7][12][13] In January 2020 he was called up to the U23 national team of Argentina to take part in the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Colombia, replacing Lautaro Valenti. He started the last group stage's match against Venezuela and netted a goal.

In late August 2021, Colombo joined Defensa y Justicia on a dry loan the rest of the year.[14] On 17 January 2022, Defensa bought Colombo free from Estudiantes for a fee around 1,250,000 dollars for 50% of his pass, with the player signing a deal until the end of 2025.[15]
