Midfielder Gustavo Puerta, the surprise package of the Colombian national team at the South American Under-20 Championship, will play for Bayer Leverkusen, according to an announcement on Friday by Bogota FC, the 19-year-old's second-division club.
"We make official the departure of the player Gustavo Adolfo Puerta Molano to the German team Bayer Leverkusen," said the capital club in a statement, so it is expected that in the coming days he will present the medical examinations.
The midfielder, who scored the goal in the 1-1 draw with Brazil in the fourth matchday of Group A, is leaving Bogota FC, the club where he trained and signed his first professional contract in June 2021.
"It is an honour for us to have been able to count on him during all this time, seeing his sporting and personal growth" added the team from the capital.
