Estudiantes still waiting for Rojo: what we know about his possible return | OneFootball

Estudiantes de La Plata, amidst the uncertainty about the future of Santiago Ascacíbar, continues to make moves in the transfer market. Eduardo Domínguez made it clear that they are waiting for Marcos Rojo: they have opened the doors to his possible return.

The coach is looking for a defender for this season. One of the main options is the former Argentina National Team defender, who was an America champion with the Pincha in 2009 but is also resisted by several fans after his brief return in 2020 (also frustrated by the pandemic) and his decision to leave for Boca a few months later.

Time has passed and the parties are getting closer again. Estudiantes is opening the door once more, but this time they are waiting for him to first be released from Racing. According to TyC Sports, coach Gustavo Costas would not hinder his departure. The other thing: he still needs to settle with the management, who are asking for financial compensation to let him go. The player has six months left on his contract.

"What I understand is that he is excited and eager to end his career where it started. So, if the management and the teammates agree… He will have to see his personal situation with the club that hired him," said Domínguez after the victory against Ituzaingó in the 32nd round of the Copa Argentina.

"I recognize his great career, his leadership ability. If he wants to close his circle at Estudiantes, it speaks to what Estudiantes means to him. The fact that he made other decisions at another time does not take away from what he feels for the club and what he needs to return to the club," added the coach.

Time has passed and the parties seem to be getting closer. Marcos Rojo, who was a World Cup and America runner-up with the Argentina National Team, could return to Estudiantes de La Plata at 35 years old. The Pincha has opened the doors, and the story promises to have more chapters in this transfer market.
