Fresh row at Racing: now Santiago Sosa has fallen out with the board | OneFootball

The midfielder and captain of La Academia is dissatisfied and is seeking a salary increase.

The 3-0 thrashing of Atlético Tucumán as visitors put Racing back on track in the Torneo Apertura after a poor start with three consecutive defeats. However, the atmosphere at La Academia has become tense in recent hours due to a conflict involving their captain, Santiago Sosa, and the club management over a salary demand.

The central midfielder and sweeper joined La Academia at the beginning of 2024 on loan from Atlanta United of the MLS and, thanks to his good performances, the Avellaneda side decided to exercise the purchase option and agreed on a new contract until 2028, with an increase in his earnings.

However, throughout 2025 he gained a much more significant role: following the departure of Gabriel Arias, he became one of the captains, which is why the player believes he should receive another update and, through his representative, Hernán Berman, they have been in contact with the management, led by Diego Milito, but they did not like the negative response and a conflict has arisen, which they hope will be resolved soon.
