Avellaneda calling? Marcos Rojo linked with Racing | OneFootball

Marcos Rojo is looking for a new destination, as he has not been considered at Boca Juniors for months and has been sidelined by the head coach, Miguel Ángel Russo, to train separately from the squad. The central defender is of interest to Racing Club, and the coach of the Avellaneda team has reportedly already contacted him to offer him a place there.

While the team prepares for the upcoming clásico at La Bombonera, Marcos Rojo is training apart from the squad by decision of the coaching staff. The defender is not part of the training sessions with the players considered by the coach for selection, just like Cristian Lema and Marcelo Saracchi.

The Boca defender is sidelined from the squad.

It’s only a matter of time before Rojo ceases to be a Boca Juniors player. What remains to be decided is whether he leaves now, in this transfer window, which still has a month left, or at the end of the year when his contract expires. In that context, Racing’s head coach, Gustavo Costas, is said to have contacted him to offer him a spot at La Academia.

According to reports from D-Sports Radio, the coach of the Avellaneda team contacted the Boca defender by phone to offer him a place there. However, others categorically deny this information.

Boca has Racing on the horizon.
