Spain-Cape Verde centre-back Ale Gomes of Real Zaragoza is being linked with a switch to Italian Serie B side Venezia as speculation intensifies over the 18-year-old’s future in Spain’s second tier.
The promising defender, who is listed with a market value of €500k, is attracting interest from the Venetian club according to data from Transfermarkt dated 13 June 2026. The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear, marked only as “?”, and there is currently no public information on when his contract in Zaragoza expires – a factor that has fuelled talk he could be allowed to leave at low cost or even move towards free-agent status in the near future if no extension is agreed.
Gomes, born on 14 February 2008 and standing at 1.87m, has been emerging with Real Zaragoza in LaLiga2, wearing shirt number 36 and operating primarily as a right-footed centre-back. The teenager, who holds both Spanish and Cape Verdean nationality, is listed as part of the Zaragoza set-up at senior level, with his national-team designation still tied to the club rather than an international side.
Recent performances have kept him on scouts’ radars in Spain’s second tier, including his latest outing for Real Zaragoza in LaLiga2, where he featured in their most recent fixture and contributed as a central defender in a match that underlined his physical presence and aerial strength, even as Zaragoza continue to rebuild in the division.
With Venezia targeting promotion from Serie B, the potential addition of a young, relatively low-cost defender valued at €500k fits the Italian club’s strategy of investing in resale value. If a deal is agreed, the move to Italy could become a pivotal step in Gomes’s career, offering a new platform to enhance his reputation and test his potential beyond Spanish football.
