FC Porto move for Gustavo Puerta: 22-year-old starred for Colombia | OneFootball

FC Porto have opened talks with Racing Santander to sign Colombian international Gustavo Puerta.

Gustavo Puerta had already been on the Dragons’ radar before the 2026 World Cup, and his performances in the tournament were one of the highlights for the Colombia national team. According to journalist Pipe Sierra, FC Porto have moved forward with negotiations with Racing Santander with a view to signing the 22-year-old midfielder.

Before making his mark on bigger stages, Gustavo Puerta played a decisive role in Racing Santander’s La Liga 2 title-winning campaign, recording three goals and one assist in 33 matches.

The Colombian international moved to Spanish football for €3.5 million, following a loan spell at Hull City, from Bayer Leverkusen. His performances for both club and country have seen his market value soar, with the Spanish press now placing it between €16 million and €17.5 million.
