It has been revealed that Ponck, who transferred from the Portuguese team Aves to Başakşehir in 2019 and played for Rizespor in 2022, is actually named Carlos Israel Latina da Silva, and his age is not 30 but 35.

SHOCKING DETAILS FROM PORTUGUESE PRESS

The Portuguese press reported that Luís Filipe Vieira, the former president of Benfica, was warned about inconsistencies in the player's birth date in 2017 but ignored the situation.

Aves officials stated to A Bola, "We made the new registration with the real age of 35, and we are waiting for the league page to be updated."
