Santiago Sosa at odds with Racing’s board | OneFootball

The 3-0 victory over Atlético Tucumán as visitors repositioned Racing in the Torneo Apertura after a weak start with three consecutive defeats. However, the atmosphere at La Academia became tense in recent hours due to a conflict involving their captain, Santiago Sosa, with the management over a salary claim.

The central midfielder and libero joined La Academia at the beginning of 2024 on loan from Atlanta United of the MLS, and due to his good performances, the Avellaneda team 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: with the departure of Gabriel Arias, he became one of the captains, so the player believes he should receive a new update, and from his representation, led by Hernán Berman, they maintained contacts with the management, headed by Diego Milito. However, they did not like the negative response, and a conflict arose, which they hope will have a prompt resolution.

Martirena, another problem at Racing

The "personal issues" that explained Gastón Martirena's absence from Racing's squad list for the match against Atlético Tucumán could lead to a sanction, which the management is currently evaluating.

As time passed, it became known that the right-back did not want to be part of the delegation because La Academia had rejected an offer from Gremio of Brazil, which wanted to take the Uruguayan on loan without charge or purchase option.
