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.
