He won the World Cup last year, now his club and his National Team sacked him

On December 18, 2022, the Argentine National Team won the final against France on penalties, after a 3-3 draw during the match, and won their third World Cup in Qatar. Thus, Lionel Messi was able to fulfill his biggest dream and won the most important soccer title and the only one he was missing in his professional career.

Obviously he did not do it alone. He had the help of other stars such as Angel Di Maria, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis MacAllister, Rodrigo De Paul, Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez and Cristian Romero, as well as coach Lionel Scaloni. And among the Argentine players who won the title in Doha was also Alejandro Gomez. The midfielder played two matches during the tournament, against Saudi Arabia and Australia. However, after the World Cup he was never called up again to the Argentine national team.

And now he was also discarded by his club. This Friday Sevilla officially announced that 'Papu' rescinded his contract, which was originally valid until June 2024. The player will also receive half of the wages that corresponded to him until that moment and will leave as a free agent, so he will have the possibility to negotiate with any club that wants to sign him.

Gomez had joined Sevilla in 2021 after shining at Atalanta. In the Italian side he had a great performance, but he had a quarrel with coach Gian Piero Gasperini and had to leave. His arrival in Spain generated a lot of expectation, but he never managed to show a convincing level and now he left after playing 90 games, with 10 goals and 6 assists.

Where will he go?

Papu Gomez has long been targeted by teams in Saudi Arabia. A few years ago, while playing for Atalanta, he turned down an offer from Al-Nassr, who still didn't have Cristiano Ronaldo. And recently, journalist César Merlo reported that Damac FC were interested in signing the midfielder.
