Puerta cheaper than Yirenky and gaining ground at FC Porto | OneFootball

Gustavo Puerta has been linked with FC Porto, who are in the market for an alternative to Froholdt in midfield. The Colombian midfielder has been one of the standout players at the 2026 World Cup, having moved ahead of Richard Ríos in the pecking order of the ‘cafeteros’, and could be available for less than €20 million.

Puerta, 22, is under contract with Racing Santander, promoted to La Liga in the season that has just ended, but 50 percent of his economic rights still belong to Bayer Leverkusen, the club that spotted him when he was still playing for Colombian side Bogotá. Although the release clause is not public, the Spanish press points to a figure between €16 million and €17.5 million, an amount well below what Nordsjaelland are asking for Caleb Yirenky, another of the names shortlisted by FC Porto to strengthen the midfield.

In addition to the Dragons, the Italian press has also linked Puerta with Atalanta and Roma.
