Racing Santander want €20m, FC Porto out of race for Puerta | OneFootball

Gustavo Puerta was once linked with FC Porto and was on the Dragons’ shortlist, but, as Bola na Rede had already reported, he is no longer part of the national champions’ plans. Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra has now revealed more details.

Racing Santander are asking for 20 million euros for the Colombian international, who stood out in La Liga 2 and at the 2026 World Cup. The fee was considered too high by several clubs, including Bologna, Hull City, Valencia and FC Porto, leading to the talks being abandoned.

According to the same source, Zenit are currently the main club interested in the player, although an agreement for the transfer is still far off. At 23, Gustavo Puerta comes off a season in which he made 33 appearances for Racing Santander and enjoyed a strong 2026 World Cup, with five matches for the cafeteros. In total, he scored three goals and provided two assists.
