Guido Mainero was one of the key players for Platense, the champion of the 2025 Torneo Apertura, and amidst the recognition for the title, he spoke about his future and his football affinity. The forward stated that he has no preference for Boca or River and admitted that he would like to play for Racing.

In a conversation with Picado TV, he explained the origin of that connection: “I have no preference for Boca or River. My dad and my brother, because of my grandfather, are Racing fans. I have an affinity for the club and it would be nice to experience it…,” said the 29-year-old footballer.

Mainero scored the goal for the 1-0 win against Huracán in the final held in Santiago del Estero, on June 1, 2025. That goal gave Platense its first First Division title in 120 years and qualification for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

The forward debuted at Instituto in 2014 and later played for Vélez, Defensa y Justicia, Deportes Iquique, and Sarmiento. In mid-2024, he joined Platense and established himself in the team led by the Orsi-Gómez duo.

With a contract until December 2025, Mainero is experiencing the best moment of his career. While enjoying the present in Vicente López, he made it clear that he does not rule out a future in Avellaneda.
