After the defeat against Godoy Cruz, the third in four games, and beyond the fact that he had not lost for 18 dates in the local tournament, The race is stunned. The injuries (Gabriel Hauche and Carlos Alcaraz), the exits (basically Nery Domínguez; Javier Correa also returned to the Mexican Santos Laguna) and the operation, which was far from the highest level, deserve urgent decisions by the leaders. And although Fernando Gago has not said it publicly, behind closed doors he demands it. And in that sense, there may be some news this week. Without going any further, Maximiliano Romero will be the second reinforcement of the Academy.

The striker wants to return to Argentina and the negotiations have advanced to such an extent that the player’s loan for 18 months has already been agreed. Everything is closed between Racing and PSV Eindhoven. An option of 1,500,000 euros has even been set for 50% of the subscription. All that remained was to sharpen the pencil so that Vélez’s former “9” stamped the signature. And in the last few hours a common point has been reached. The management has approached the amount desired by Romero and the player himself has reduced the claims.

His last match dates back to May 15, in the 2-1 victory against Pec Zwolle for the Eredivisie League. Romero played 36 games and scored 8 goals for the Dutch club. Muscle injuries and cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee in 2020 conspired against his continuity.

Meanwhile, the situation of Colombian Johan Carbonero could be resolved in the next few hours. And in front of the match against Vélez, on Thursday in Avellaneda, Emiliano Vecchio could be on the bench. Who will replace Tomás Chancalay, expelled in the duel with the Mendoza? Will Fabricio Domínguez come in or will Edwin Cardona have another chance?
