From Nuremberg back to Leverkusen: Bayer 04 recall Puerta

Bayer 04 Leverkusen will begin the preseason for the 2023/24 campaign on 10 July with the Columbia U20 international Gustavo Puerta in the squad. The Werkself signed the central midfielder from the Colombian capital club Bogota FC at the start of the year and then loaned him out to the Franconian second division club FC Nürnberg.

The Werkself have now exercised their right to recall Puerta who enjoys the confidence of sporting managing director Simon Rolfes: "Gustavo is a key player in the Columbia U20 team. He demonstrated that at the South American Championships at the start of the year and he is also doing that at the U20 World Cup in Argentina," said Rolfes. "We want to see how he does in our squad and what positives he can bring. Gustavo has a very promising future in his position as a number six or number eight."
