Gustavo Raúl Gómez Portillo (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡusˈtaβo ˈɣomes]; born 6 May 1993) is a Paraguayan footballer who currently plays as a defender for Brazilian Série A club Palmeiras and captains the Paraguay national team.

Club career

Lanús

Gómez is considered as one of the most promising defenders of Paraguay, who began his playing career at Libertad. In the summer of 2014, Gómez left Libertad to play for Argentine Primera División side Lanús.[1] Gustavo Gomez's Lanus conceded a mere 10 goals in 17 games en route to securing 2016 Argentine Primera Division title.

Milan

On 5 August 2016, Gómez completed a move to A.C. Milan for a fee reported to be in the region of €8.5 million, signing a 5-year contract.[2] He is the first ever Paraguayan footballer to play for Milan. After joining the club he chose number 15, in tribute of his former Lanús teammate, Diego Barisone who died in a car accident. [3] On 27 August 2016, he made his full debut for Milan in Serie A against Napoli, where Napoli beat Milan 4-2.

Palmeiras

On 2 August 2018, Gómez was announced for Palmeiras on a one year loan deal.[4]

International career

Gustavo's first convocation was for the friendly against Germany in August 2013.[5] But his international debut was against Bolivia on 7 September 2013, at the age of 20 years. In that game he scored his first international goal.[6] He has since, nailed down a regular starting berth for Paraguay. He played for Paraguay in the Copa América Centenario in 2016, where he started all the 3 games for them.

Style of play

Gustavo is a strong defender capable of playing in any position at the back. He is a hard tackler and good in the air. He was instrumental in Lanus's style of building attacks from behind.
