http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Teofilo-Gutierrez-c34789 will stay with Racing, says Roberto Ayala
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Ayala-c31306, claims that Teofilo Gutierrez will not be leaving the club for Europe in the transfer window and also added that the player was quite committed to the team.
Colombian International, Teofilo Gutierrez, has been on the radar of Portuguese giants FC Porto for the past few months. The striker has been sought by the club as an ideal cure for their attacking woes, which have surfaced since the departure of Radamel
Falcao.
Falcao become a world-class marksman during his time at Estadio do Dragao and also became well known for his proficiency in attack. The forward netted a whopping 72 goals in 87 appearances for the Portistas, as well as being the main catalyst behind the
club’s quadruple conquest.
However Atletico Madrid tempted him with the allure of the Spanish La Liga and secured his services in a €40 million during the summer. With his exit from the Primeira Liga, all the responsibilities of leading the Porto front-line have fallen on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, who
has done a remarkable http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 despite not having a reliable strike partner.
The Brazilian has netted 12 times this term for the Dragons but he alone cannot lead the club forward and in order to strengthen their ranks, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 have targeted Teofilo Gutierrez as a possible signing in the transfer window.
Gutierrez is also allegedly keen on making the switch to the Primeira Liga and has hinted in the past that he would like to replicate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276’s feats at the Portuguese outfit.
His agent has also added more fuel to the speculation and said that his client is adamant on signing for the Azuis e Brancos and will play only for them.
However all rumours of a January transfer have been quashed by the revelations of new Racing boss Roberto Ayala, who claims that the player is ready to stay at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón for at least the season.
"[Teo] appeared keen to continue, his contract says that on January 4 he has to turn up [for pre-season training] and he has always said to me that he will not have problems being there.”
"He told me that he wants to be a champion with Racing and that he wants to make history at the club, who were the ones that opened the door for him to play again,” the trainer was quoted as saying.
With the coach reiterating that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitor-c36281 Pereira and FC Porto pursue their interest or turn their attention to other targets in the summer.
The club are in dire need of quality upfront and have been linked with a plethora of players besides Teofilo Gutierrez such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Niang-c23292.
