Carlos Cuesta's future could take an important turn in the next few days. The Colombian defense, who did not have a good experience in his passage through the Galatasaray, is in the sight of Vasco da Gama, a Brazilian club that has shown a firm interest in staying with his services.
Cuesta arrived in Galatasaray with the poster of being one of the strongest centrals of the Colombian National Team in his stage in Belgium. However, in Türkiye everything was twisted soon. The coach Okan Buruk did not give him continuity, he placed him in positions that were not his specialty and a punctual error in a party ended up marking his destiny. Since then, the signals were clear: for the season that begins, it did not enter the plans.
Basque da Gama, the one who insists the most
Although several teams were the possibility of signing it, the Basque da Gama has been the one that has moved the most. According to information from Türkiye, the club presented a first offer of 3.5 million euros that was rejected. Galatasaray expected about 8 million, but in a second proposal, close to 6 million euros for 60% of its pass, the positions would have started approaching. Even there is talk of an additional clause: if it costs a certain number of matches, Basque would pay 2 million euros more.
For now, there is no official confirmation of the agreement. To close, Cuesta would become the Colombian tenth to wear the shirt of the Carioca club, following the path of players such as Fredy Guarín and Emerson Rodríguez.
The interest of Vasco da Gama in Colombian talent is not limited to Cuesta. The club also negotiates the arrival of Carlos Andrés GómezRennes end, as a loan condition with purchase option. With just 19 games played in the last season in France, the 22 -year -old looking for more minutes and a competitive environment that helps him resume his best level, which could turn Basque into the new epicenter of the Coffee Legion in Brazil.
An opportunity to return to the selection
For Cuesta, Vasco's interest comes at a key moment. His few minutes in Türkiye left him out of the last calls of the national team, and a return to a competitive context, such as the Brazilian, could return prominence. In addition, he would have Fernando Diniz as coach, a technician with experience in strengthening players and who helped Jhon Arias reach European football.
In the next few days it will be known if the passage of Cuesta in Türkiye is definitely behind and if Brazil will be his new football home.
