Just when Gustavo Puerta defined the future of his career, in which he will continue with the Hull City of England, arrives distressing news for him, his compatriot Steven Alzate, and the rest of his teammates.
Puerta, 21, fulfilled a number of games that made Hull City activate the purchase clause to Bayer Leverkusen, which had given it to the English second division team, and the steering wheel will belong to the British team.
However, things could be complicated in the evolution of his career, after this weekend Hull City lost 0-1 against Derby County, on the penultimate day of the season.
Hull City completed 21 losses in the season and adds 48 points in the standings. Thus, in the absence of a date, it occupies the 22nd position in the standings and is in a descent position.
This means that Puerta, in addition to Alzate, is 90 minutes from descending or achieving permanence. It would be a blow to third division and play the League One in the 2025/2026 campaign.
On the final day, Hull City will visit Portsmouth, with the obligation and need to win to save the category. The three points are crucial to stay in the Championship without depending on anyone; If you tied, you should expect Luton Town or Preston North End not to win. The defeat would condemn him.
An unknown is born: If Hull City descends, will it sell Gustavo Puerta in the next signing market? The question is given because the Colombian is one of the young promises that have figured this season: he has played 1,807 minutes in 29 games, 21 as a starter.
