José Luis Gómez debuted in Racing with Luis Zubeldía in 2013. The following year, without having continuity in the Academy, he moved to San Martín de San Juan, a club where he played until 2016, the year he was transferred to Lanús.

He became a teammate of Lionel Messi in the National Team thanks to Jorge Sampaoli, coach who called him up to play the double date of friendlies once morest Brazil and Singapore.

His father, who has the same name as his son, told in an interview with the newspaper Olé how the footballer is currently. “We have always been a humble family. El Negrito helps us.

Sometimes, more at night,” said José Luis Sr. At 30 years old, the defender’s contract with the Academy will expire on December 31 and the club today has no intention of renewing it.

“He trains in Racing, but he usually misses it”
For more than a year, José Luis Gómez has been training with a physical trainer at the Tita Mattiussi facility in Avellaneda. “Although he is very intermittent and is often absent. Since he was not taken into account by the First or the Reserve, he had no competition at all this time. If at the end of the year he does not have the opportunity to go play for another team, he may retire from football. I hope something appears for him, so he continues doing what he knows best and is happy on the court,” said the defender’s father.
The Barracas Centras offer that he rejected
Last year he had the concrete opportunity to continue his career at Barracas Central. Racing tried to convince José Luis Gómez to accept it, but he rejected it. At the Academy they extended his contract for another year.
His time at Huracán before returning to Racing
Before returning to the Academy, José Luis Gómez had had an unusual time at Huracán. Different health conditions prevented him from debuting and he left prematurely, a few days following signing.
