Roma and Atalanta Seen Targeting Gustavo Puerta
June 28, 2026 · Global
Gustavo Puerta, a standout performer at the World Cup, is now being targeted by big clubs such as Roma and Atalanta, according to a report from Sportitalia.
The World Cup shines a spotlight on several players, who, if they take advantage of this opportunity, could stand out and attract the attention of big clubs. This is similar to what happened to Gustavo Puerta, a key figure in the Colombian team at the World Cup. The Racing midfielder, currently playing in League 2, finished the season with 33 appearances, three goals, one assist and an astonishing 14 yellow cards. This player born in 2002 is now the attention of Tony D'Amico.
As Gianluigi Longari of Sportitalia reports, the Colombian midfielder is of interest to Porto and in Italy is being pursued by Roma and Atalanta. Currently, the Giallorossi have other priorities, including contract renewals (Dybala, Pellegrini, Celik), capital gain before June 30 (Soulé), and Mason Greenwood, Gasperini's dream. However, starting in early July, Tony D'Amico will focus on strengthening the squad, not only in the attack line but also in the midfield, and the potential of this player born in 2002 is worth paying attention to.
