❌ Racing turn down approach for Agustín Almendra | OneFootball

The Academy aims to keep Gustavo Costas’ entire squad together during this transfer window.

Racing Club has had to fend off some approaches for several players during this transfer window. After River Plate went after Maximiliano Salas and Spartak Moscow did the same with Gastón Martirena, an Argentine team also showed interest in Agustín Almendra.

Although there were no formal offers to sign these players, it recently came to light that Guillermo Barros Schelotto has started a charm offensive to bring Almendra to Vélez Sarsfield.

The 'Mellizo' coached him at Boca Juniors and has contacted the player himself to convince him to move to the Liniers side.

Nevertheless, Diego Milito is not considering negotiating for him at the request of Gustavo Costas, who sees him as an important player. And since Vélez could be a potential rival in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, they are also not willing to negotiate with domestic or international rivals.

Agustín Almendra joined Racing in August 2023 and has played 80 matches, scoring six goals and providing eight assists. The 25-year-old midfielder has won two titles: the CONMEBOL Sudamericana and the Recopa.
