From boos to renewal: Racing move to keep Marcos Rojo | OneFootball

The board of directors led by Diego Milito intends to present a renewal offer to the 35-year-old defender, whose contract expires at the end of June.

Despite having recently received inquiries from other clubs, such as an offer from Aldosivi that was turned down by the player himself, the player’s comfort in Avellaneda will make it easier for both parties to negotiate and secure his stay.

That incident against River, along with other disciplinary lapses, such as the red card against Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores while he was on the bench or the accidental challenge that fractured Santiago Sosa, raised doubts about his future.

However, after serving his suspension and being on the bench against Huracán, the center-back regained his starting spot in the key round-of-16 clash against Estudiantes de La Plata and in the quarterfinal against Central. With this outlook, Rojo is expected to start this Thursday against Caracas, where Racing will look to seal qualification in the Copa Sudamericana.
