The penalty of the last date marked a break with the people. It became clear when he was injured during the first half with Tigre in the Champions Trophy tie-break. Enzo Copetti He went from interrogation in his first phase to the idyll of the fans and, almost without realizing it, to the disapproval of not wanting to take charge of the execution against River, a cross that will carry Jonathan Galván. Exactly for this reason, the offer from MLS Charlotte FC opened an escape route for him.

In these hours the cards are crossing and there will be a definitive agreement, but as President Víctor Blanco confirmed to Clarín, Copetti will be sold to the North Carolina team for a gross of 6.3 million dollars. Taking into account that Racing holds 80% of the player’s transfer and the remaining percentage is owned by Atlético Rafaela, he would be left with almost 4 million net.

Not even with Galván himself, who ended up establishing himself. Everyone knows how the story ended: with a thrill that covered Franco Armani and Boca champion of the League.

Gago replaces Copetti and Racing won’t have to pay a penny. This is Nicolás Reniero. Argentinos Juniors have not exercised their option to buy and the 27-year-old forward will return to the club.
