Another striker on Racing’s radar: Elías Torres targeted | OneFootball

Racing remains active in the transfer market, where it has already seen several key departures from Gustavo Costas’s team, while also looking for options to strengthen the squad for the second half of the year. In addition to the Professional League, they face the challenge of the round of 16 clash against Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores.

Several names have been linked to the Academy’s interests, but the most prominent ones, such as Alejo Véliz and Milton Giménez, seem to be moving further away.

On the other hand, there is another striker who appears to be closer to Racing: Elías Torres.

Racing negotiates with Aldosivi for Elías Torres

The 24-year-old center forward was developed and made his debut at Aldosivi and has not worn any other jersey in his career. He has played 74 matches with the Mar del Plata Tiburón, scoring 17 goals and providing two assists.

Aldosivi has set the price: 4 million dollars, if Racing wants to sign him. The Academy will continue negotiating as they hope to lower the amount, and they have an advantage: Torres is under contract with Aldosivi until next December, and if he is not sold now, he could leave for free at the end of the year without bringing any income to the club.

Aldosivi would benefit from closing a sale before the player’s contract expires, and Racing will try to finalize the deal in the coming days.

However, the Academy faces competition: Elías Torres is also wanted by Talleres, who have already made a formal offer, although it was rejected by Aldosivi for being insufficient. There is also reportedly an investment group from Brazil interested in acquiring the player’s rights.
