But now the young Colombian has decided to join Hull City from the English Championship. Gustavo Puerta's move from Bayer 04 to English second division club Hull City is imminent. The Championship club, which has been coached by former HSV coach Tim Walter since this season, is loaning the 21-year-old until the end of the season - with an obligation to buy, but subject to a certain number of appearances. The transfer fee for the factory club is then expected to be between four and five million euros. A good deal for the German double winner, who signed the midfielder from Bogota FC in January 2023 for a transfer fee of one million euros. Financially similar to the Bröndby deal In Leverkusen, the 30-time Colombian U-20 international was barely used last season due to the extremely strong competition in the double six and was almost only a spectator, especially in the second half of the season. After seven appearances before the winter break, in which he was in the starting eleven twice in the last two, less significant group matches in the Europa League, the right-footer only played a total of 20 minutes in three short appearances for Bayer 04 in 2024. Now Puerta wants to take the next step at Hull City and advance his career as a regular. An immediate sale of Puerta to Bröndby IF would only have been more financially attractive at first glance. Bayer had agreed a fixed transfer fee of €3.5 million plus €1 million in possible bonuses with the Danes. The Bundesliga club had also agreed an exceptionally high resale fee with Bröndby IF. But the deal with Hull City is said to contain similar components to the previously negotiated transfer to the traditional Danish club
