It was recently known that some “headhunters” from European clubs, such as the English Manchester City and the Portuguese Benfica, were at the Metropolitan Stadium, who were tracking a pair of jewels from the Betplay Cup final, which was played between Junior and Millionaires. This Friday it was known that the magnifying glass is on the extreme Carlos Andrés Gómez.
Although initially it was said that the eyes were on Daniel Ruiz, the ’10’ of Millonarios, the journalist Pedro Sepúlveda, an expert in transfers, said from Portugal that Benfica’s real interest lies in the skilled man from Choco who was already nicknamed ‘Tinito ‘, in the Colombian league.
“Exclusive. Benfica is not in Colombia to see Daniel Ruiz but Carlos Andrés Gómez. The 20-year-old striker from Millonarios is referenced by the Reds, Manchester City and Red Bull Bragantino. Today there is no contact between clubs,” the journalist said. .
Gómez, 20, has had an impressive rise and is already a key player in Alberto Gamero’s plans with the Betplay League leader Millonarios and Cup finalist. The Chocoano has accumulated six goals in the League and scored in the recent classic against America, in El Campín, which ended 2-2. In the middle of the week he played the whole game against Junior.
In addition, Carlos Gómez is another of the players who could enter future plans for the Colombian National Team, as well as Daniel Ruiz, whom coach Néstor Lorenzo said that he was monitoring him to bring him closer at any time.
