Papu Gomez returns to the game: deal with a Serie B team is close

Alejandro “Papu” Gomez could soon be making a comeback in Italian soccer. After a difficult period, marked by a doping disqualification received during his brief stint at Monza, the Argentine striker is ready to get back into the game and write a new chapter in his career. According to the latest rumors, Padova is very close to reaching an agreement with the South American fantasist, who could thus start again from Serie B.

The biancoscudata club would have already initiated the first contacts with the player’s entourage and the operation would seem to be at an advanced stage. Gomez, after serving his disqualification, has not been sitting on his hands: in the last year, in fact, he has been training with Renate in order to maintain his fitness and be ready in case of a new opportunity. And that opportunity seems to have finally arrived.

Padua, with high ranking ambitions and desire to fight for promotion, sees in Papu a possible graft of quality and experience. However, before the final signing, further checks will be needed to verify the real athletic condition of the player, who has been out of action for several months due to forced inactivity.

If the deal were to materialize, it would be a surprise and highly resonant coup for Serie B. Gomez, a former flag-bearer of Atalanta and a star player in Serie A with the shirts of Catania, Monza, has left an indelible mark on Italian soccer thanks to his spectacular plays and game vision.
