In case of Emiliano Vecchio it was in danger of becoming the novel of the summer. And the relationship with Mercedes, daughter of Victor White and ex-wife of Lisandro López whitewashed by the president himself. “The family situation won’t matter”, the leader had assured. What was delayed was the agreement with the Rosario down payment. Finally there was a handshake. This Wednesday Sergio Lami, the player’s representative, will travel to Buenos Aires and there will be a meeting to define the details of a contract that will bind the Tycoon to Racing until December 2024.

Of course, he not only has an emotional connection to Racing, whose fans have quickly adopted him because of his talent; also, with Central, a team he is a fan of.
The negotiations were not easy. After rupture of the cruciate ligament Before the left knee injury sustained against the Colón in Santa Fe for the 25th round of the last professional championship played in mid-October, Vecchio’s idea was to retire.
