The Argentine midfielder, world champion in Qatar 2022, Alejandro “Papu” Gomez He is a new reinforcement of the club monzafrom Italy, confirmed coach Raffaele Palladino.
“We are happy for the arrival of ‘Papu’, whom we had been following for a long time with (Adriano) Galleani (club director)”stated the technician in statements reproduced by ANSA.
“He is a great footballer and can play in different positions, both forward and further back on the pitch. He has great talent and great experience and will be useful to us”considered the coach.
Gomez, 35 years old, analyzed in recent days the possibility of retiring from professional football, but changed his decision.
In this way, the footballer will arrive in Italy this Friday to undergo a medical examination and sign the new contract with the club, which will be valid until June 2024.
The decision of the Monza managers to incorporate the Argentine player was due to the need to replace the forward Gianluca Caprari.
The Italian attacker suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will have eight months to recover.
“Papu”, for his part, terminated his relationship with Sevilla, from Spain, and was released, a decision he made because he was not taken into account by the Basque coach, José Luis Mendilibar, lately.
The midfielder played since January 2021 wearing the Spanish club’s shirt in a total of 90 games, where he scored 10 goals, won the last edition of the Europa League and where he played his last game in June of this year.
With the return to Monza, “Papu” returned to Italian football, where he arrived in 2010 to play in Catania – from San Lorenzo de Almagro -, and then worked for Atalanta, where he was captain between 2014 and 2021.
The 2021 Copa América champion midfielder began his professional career at Arsenal de Sarandí, where he debuted in 2003 and then in 2009 he joined San Lorenzo, where he played for a year.
In August 2013 he moved to Metalist Kharkiv, Ukraine, where he played 23 games and scored 3 goals, and then moved to Atalanta.
