Racing needs to seal its pass to South American but is already thinking about reinforcements, with Gago’s contract in the folder

After the elimination against Boca in the Professional League Cup, Karera came with a victory over Melgar and the peace of mind of having qualifying for the round of 16 of the South American League at hand. Or a tie on the River de Montevideo, on Thursday at Avellaneda.

With that goal about to be fulfilled, Fernando Gago is already thinking about the future. And not that far, of course. Because the break is short, because in the first week of June the new championship will begin.

In that sense, the names are already starting to sound like possible reinforcements and go over about the future of some players who are on the squad and may leave.

One of the names in the coach folder is Benjamin Rolheiser. The midfielder, who will be released from River and for this reason marginalized by Marcelo Gallardo, already has an agreement with Estudiantes.

There is another midfielder who is interested in the coach Academy: Agustin Martegani, from San Lorenzo. It seems difficult for Barça’s leadership, going through an institutional crisis, to break away from one of its best seedbed values.

stupid wants a central defender and a winger. Nazareno Colombo, from Defense and Justice, is an advocate who is courting him. Edwin Mosquera (Aldosivi), Carlos Rotondi (Defense and Justice) and Johan Carbonero (Gymnastics). However, another striker reappeared on the light blue and white radar. This is Ezequiel Bullaude. The 21-year-old Mendoza native, whose pass belongs to Godoy Cruz, was under investigation at the beginning of the year.

Strengthening the squad that has conducted a good campaign is the priority of the leadership. Also, renew the bond with Gago. There are several economic barriers: the coach wants to win between three and four more times. On the other hand, he prefers a contract until the end of 2023, while Racing proposes to extend it until 2024.

Meanwhile, the leaders also want to resolve the situation of the lower divisions. Juan Ramón Fleita will not be continuing at the Reserve and has had talks with Marcelo Romano to join the club. Gago will have to define it with Rubén Capria, the manager, after Thursday.
