Strasbourg tie down Joaquín Panichelli with huge release clause | OneFootball

Joaquín Panichelli was one of the biggest breakthroughs in Europe during 2025, going from Mirandés in the Spanish second division to debuting for the Argentine National Team in just five months thanks to his exceptional performance at Racing Strasbourg.

29 matches were enough for him to become one of the team's stars thanks to his offensive contribution, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists during that period. As part of his new status at the club, he attracted the interest of major European teams, but the Blues did not hesitate to set a high price: 49 million euros.

After a phenomenal start in October, where he scored seven goals in six matches, Lionel Scaloni decided to add him to the Albiceleste and included him in the friendly match the national team played against Angola in Luanda, substituting Lionel Messi towards the end of the match.

Largely thanks to his goals, the French team occupies the seventh position in their league and qualified for the quarter-finals of the French Cup after defeating Monaco 3-1. Additionally, they remain alive in European competitions, having finished first and undefeated in the Conference League group stage and are already in the round of 16.

The truth is that Panichelli is part of an Argentine revolution at Racing, which decided to bet on national talent and also has Valentín Barco and Aarón Anselmino in its ranks, the latter having just arrived on loan from Chelsea, an institution that has a close relationship with Strasbourg as they share the same owner.
