Neymar’s Santos eyeing a Racing star for a shock swoop | OneFootball

Santos of Brazil, where Neymar plays, has tabled an offer for defender Marco Di Césare, currently at Racing. According to reports, the proposal was around four million dollars, a figure that did not satisfy the management of the Academy, who demand at least six million dollars for 70% of his pass and payment guarantees.

Di Césare arrived at Racing at the beginning of 2024, coming from Argentinos Juniors, and quickly established himself as a key piece in the backline of the team led by Gustavo Costas. With him on the field, the Academy won the South American Cup in Asunción, defeating Cruzeiro 3-1 in the final.

But 2025 was more difficult for the marker: his performance declined and he lost his starting position to Franco Pardo, incorporated in the last transfer market. In addition, Di Césare was one of those singled out after the crushing 4-1 defeat against Argentinos Juniors, on the sixth date of the Clausura Tournament of the Professional League.

For its part, Santos is also going through a difficult time in 2025: it was eliminated in the third phase of the Brazil Cup and in the Brasileirao it ranks 15th with only 21 points, just two units from the relegation zone.
