Martirena out of Tucumán trip after Racing reject Gremio bid, faces ban | OneFootball

Gastón Martirena was not part of the Racing delegation that traveled to Tucumán to face Atlético Tucumán, and his absence could result in a sanction. The club's management is considering imposing a fine after the full-back decided not to travel following the club's rejection of an offer from Gremio.

The Brazilian team had made a proposal to take the Uruguayan on loan with no purchase option. Racing dismissed the deal, and that decision upset the player, who chose not to join the squad led by Gustavo Costas.

The situation arises just days before the transfer window closes, scheduled for March 10, and opens a new internal conflict within the squad. In Avellaneda, they are now considering whether the player will be sanctioned and if he will be considered again for Tuesday's match against Sarmiento in Junín.

Martirena's situation has changed in recent weeks. After starting the tournament as a starter, he lost his spot following the arrival of Ezequiel Cannavo, who has established himself as the right-back since the fourth round.

So far in the Torneo Apertura, the Uruguayan has played two matches and went from being the only option in the position to falling behind in the coaching staff's considerations. In this scenario, he viewed the possibility of continuing his career in Brazilian football positively, but that option ultimately did not materialize.
