Levante is clear that the purchase of Gustavo Carvajal will not be effective. The Colombian midfielder arrived in Orriols on loan from América de Cali with a purchase option to prove himself in the granota subsidiary on loan throughout the season, with the vitola of the 'new Jefferson Lerma' and the truth is that it has not fulfilled the hopes deposited upon arrival.
Carvajal arrived in similar conditions to his compatriot, with a transfer for an acceptable amount and a higher purchase option in case of convincing the technicians. However, he would have to prove himself at Atlético Levante, while Lerma landed directly in the first team. The difference was obvious.
The Colombian, international for the lower categories, has lived a year from less to more. It was difficult for him to start with the team from the hand of Luis García Tevenet, added to a late immersion in the group due to the bureaucratic obstacles of its incorporation. The arrival of Alessio Lisci, yes, it was a change in his trajectory of granota. He started playing and ended up playing 19 games this season.
However, from the club they are clear that they will not exercise the purchase of Gustavo Carvajal, as this newspaper reported a few months ago, and, in any case, they would only contemplate his return in the form of a new assignment. He was satisfied with the experience and would be delighted to return, but América de Cali seems convinced to try to make a cut with his departure. So his journey in Levante has come to an end.
