Papu Gomez is ready to transfer to Dubai, where he landed in recent days with at least a couple of concrete offers. The operation could close quickly, according to Il Mattino di Padova. The end of the relationship was accelerated by the club's decision to exclude Gomez from the squad list. The player's early departure would result in a saving of around half a million euros for Padova on his salary, as his contract was set to expire on June 30.

According to Tuttomercato, Papu Gomez does not fit into Padova's current technical project. Gomez is described as an exceptional person who would have liked to remain and compete for his place. If he does not find a new club, his contract will be respected and he will be allowed to train with Padova, although he may not be included in the official squad list.

Argentinian winger Papu Gomez, 38, wants to remain at Padova, while the management has already decided to let him go. On social media, Papu Gomez stated that he has another year on his contract, indicating his intention to exercise his signed contract. Contract termination remains the most likely solution. The Argentinian international, who has 17 caps and 3 goals for his country, made 9 appearances in Serie B for the 2025/2026 season. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €500k.
