Getting to football in Europe is the dream of many young players starting their careers. However, in the midst of the desire to fulfill that dream, some make bad decisions that lead them to delay and cut the momentum that they maintained since they were very young . Some manage to adapt, but others do not run with the same fortune. Omar Govea arrived at Porto with illusions in 2015. But 7 years later, the Mexican sees his chances of succeeding in European football pass by.

Govea changed Mexican soccer with the desire to get his first opportunities in Europe. Porto, one of the great clubs in Portugal, granted him that first test. However, time passed and the Aztec went through the lower categories of the club and loaned to other teams .

Under the label of young promise, the Mexican could not adapt in the prestigious Porto. The future took Govea to Zulte Waregem in Belgium. In this club, the Aztec lived a certain regularity for a while, but the current season has been really lapidary.

The midfielder of 26 years old has only played 6 games in the season. Omar Govea has been on court for 355 minutes (the equivalent of almost 4 full games). During his appearances, the Mexican has only been able to provide one assist, but the truth is that the Aztec does not count for the Belgian team.

What will be the fate of Omar Govea?

The Mexican soccer player has a contract until June 2022 with the Zulte Waregem. From there, the Aztec will become a free agent. Govea is valued at €600, euros ($630,000 Dollars). After not being able to establish himself in European football, it would not hurt to think of a return to Liga MX; one step back to take two forward. Govea still has years of age, under these circumstances he still has time to recover his fitness and,

why not, to be taken into account again with the Mexican team.
