Olympiacos is in contact with Racing Santander over signing Colombian international midfielder Gustavo Puerta, according to reports in Spain.
The Greek club has decided to spend a large sum on a creative central midfielder after its pursuit of Titraoui failed to progress. Puerta has emerged as the new target.
Contract and price
Sources in Spain say Puerta, listed as 24 years old, has a contract with Santander until 2029 and is valued at more than 10 million euros.
Career path
The player, also referred to in the report as 23, began his career in Bogota and signed for Bayer Leverkusen in January 2023. He was loaned to Nuremberg for six months, returned to Leverkusen, then joined English club Hull on loan in the summer of 2024. Leverkusen sold him to Santander last summer, where he played a key role in the club's promotion to La Liga, drawing interest from other teams in Spain and abroad.
