Racing de Córdoba bid for Wanchope Ábila to boost promotion hopes | OneFootball

The Nueva Italia Academy presented him with a proposal, and the experienced goal scorer, who will not continue at Huracán, asked for a few days to analyze it and decide his future.

With the thumbs down from Diego Martínez, the new coach of Huracán who will not consider him, Ramón Wanchope Ábila will end 2025 far from Parque Patricios, although he could start the next year very close to his hometown. This is because Racing de Córdoba made him an offer to fight for promotion in the Primera Nacional.

The 36-year-old goal scorer, who had a modest third stint at Globo (19 matches, only one as a starter, and no goals), stated that he is “in perfect shape” and the idea of retirement does not cross his mind. He has not yet terminated his contract, but in the coming weeks, he will arrange his departure on good terms. Therefore, in Nueva Italia, they took note of his situation, and their president Manuel Pérez presented a formal proposal for him to be a reinforcement with a view to 2026.

The experienced forward thanked them and asked for a few days to analyze the offer and finalize the future of his career. The Academy is not the only suitor, as other clubs have initiated negotiations in recent days to sign him.

Although it will not be easy to convince him, Racing de Córdoba is hopeful that he can join Pablo Fornasari's squad, who has already given the green light. It would be his second experience in his province, as he already defended the colors of Instituto, a team he is a confessed fan of, more than a decade and a half ago.

Throughout his career, Wanchope scored 149 official goals and provided 35 assists. Lethal striker numbers, although the truth is that the last time he shook the nets was almost a year and a half ago, back on August 14, 2024, in the round of 16 of the Copa Argentina against Argentinos Juniors.
