Estudiantes still waiting for Rojo: what we know about his possible return | OneFootball

Estudiantes de La Plata, amid uncertainty about the future of Santiago Ascacíbar, continues to move in the transfer market. Eduardo Domínguez made it clear that they are waiting for Marcos Rojo: they have opened the door to his possible return.

The coach is looking for a center-back for this season. One of the main options is the former Argentina National Team defender, who was crowned champion of the Americas with El Pincha in 2009, but is also opposed by several fans after his brief return in 2020 (which was also frustrated by the pandemic) and his decision to leave for Boca just a few months later.

Time has passed and the parties are getting closer again. Estudiantes is opening the door for him once more, but this time they are waiting for him to first become a free agent from Racing. According to what TyC Sports was told, coach Gustavo Costas would not put obstacles in the way of his departure. Another issue: he still needs to reach an agreement with the club’s management, who are asking for financial compensation to let him go. The player has six months left on his contract.

“What I understand is that he is excited and wants to finish his career where he started it. So, if the management and his teammates agree… He will have to sort out his personal situation with the club that signed him,” said Domínguez after the win over Ituzaingó in the Round of 64 of the Copa Argentina.

“I recognize his great career, his leadership skills. If he wants to close his circle at Estudiantes, it speaks to what Estudiantes means to him. The fact that he made other decisions at other times doesn’t take away from what he feels for the club and what he needs to come back,” added the coach.

Time has passed and the parties seem to be getting closer. Marcos Rojo, who was runner-up in the World Cup and Copa América with the Argentina National Team, could return to Estudiantes de La Plata at the age of 35. El Pincha has opened the doors for him and this story promises to have more chapters in this transfer window.
