Jorge Gómez asks to leave Rayo Zuliano
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Rayo Zuliano ask about Luis Eduardo
A loan enquiry to Fluminense: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
