The last great investment that was thought to be made in the transfer market will be frustrated. San Lorenzo finally said no to Racing in their desire to stay with Agustín Martegani. After playing a very good game against Arsenal, generating the winning goal, the Cyclone leadership listened to Insua, who wanted to have him on the squad. As confirmed to Racing de Alma from Boedo, the decision is already a fact and the four million dollars that the Academy could put up will not be enough.
The decision was brought forward and San Lorenzo does not give Racing Martegani
Before the weekend, from Sa Lorenzo they had excited Racing for Martegani. “We’ll see if Martegani stays at the club. I was chatting with Víctor Blanco and Racing’s is one of the strongest offers. We also need creative midfielders and we’ll see on Tuesday what we determine,” said Horacio Arreceygor, president of San Lorenzo, in TyC Sports. The decision was brought forward one day and it was to keep the midfielder on the right foot in the team.
At first, the San Lorenzo leadership wanted five million dollars for the entire pass from Martegani to let him go to Racing. It was a figure that Víctor Blanco is not willing to pay. He would reach 2,300,000 dollars for half the chip or four for the total, something that was being analyzed in Boedo at least until before the game against Arsenal. Aware of this, the Cyclone coach had given his player a vote of confidence in the last few hours. “We have Martegani for the whole season,” Insua said at a press conference and later in the game he put him on as the first change.
according to what he said Fernando Gago In conference, Racing will continue expectantly in the market although Martegani does not arrive from San Lorenzo as was initially speculated. As the transfer book will only close on Thursday at 8:00 p.m., there is still time to negotiate with a player who appears as an opportunity in the last few hours, even if it seems complicated. But it does not seem that Agustín is the one who ends up reaching the Academy despite the fact that the player welcomed his arrival at the club. Bad news for the Academy.
What Gago thinks about the market
“I am satisfied with what is being done. Let’s see if one more option appears in this week that we have. I passed a very complete list to the leaders. From possible players and others who were really difficult”, confirmed the coach. Although he immediately made it clear that he knows about the effort that is being made to achieve what he asked for: “I know that the attempt was always made and I am clear that we are in an economy complicated as a country and that makes things difficult”. One of them was Martegani, the San Lorenzo midfielder that Gago always wanted for Racing since he scored a great goal in a game played with many substitutes.
