Racing Club confirmed that midfielder Santiago Sosa, captain Baltasar Rodríguez and defender Agustín García Basso will continue training apart from the first‑team while their individual transfer or contract matters are settled. Sosa’s intended move to Vasco da Gama collapsed after the Brazilian side could not meet the agreed terms, leaving him out of recent matches. Rodríguez remains seeking a transfer to Estudiantes de La Plata, but Racing deemed the offer insufficient, imposed a fine and kept him out of squad activities. García Basso stays sidelined following a prolonged dispute with club management and a failed attempt to join San Lorenzo. The club is actively scouting replacements, now listing additional targets such as Agustín Cardozo, Matías Galarza and Adrián Sánchez alongside the previously mentioned Leonel Pérez. Negotiations for a central‑midfield loan‑with‑purchase‑option involving Grêmio’s Leonel Pérez continue, complicated by Grêmio’s outstanding debts to other clubs.
