Financial details hold up Juan Nardoni’s announcement by Grêmio | OneFootball

Grêmio is very close to officially announcing the signing of midfielder Juan Nardoni from Racing. The deal is valued at around 8 million dollars (R$ 40 million), with an additional 2 million in bonuses based on performance targets. However, a last-minute impasse is delaying the signing: the Argentine club is trying to negotiate retaining the 15% that legally belongs to the player, seeking to receive the transfer amount net, according to information from ESPN Argentina.

At 23 years old, Nardoni is considered a vital piece at Racing, where he won the 2024 Copa Sudamericana and the 2025 Recopa. His absence in the last round of the Argentine Championship already indicated his imminent departure to the Tricolor Gaúcho. The player, who came up through Unión de Santa Fe, arrives in Porto Alegre to be the new engine of Renato Gaúcho’s midfield, standing out for his physical strength and passing quality.

For Racing, the sale is seen as a financial necessity, although it comes at a turbulent technical moment after three consecutive defeats in the national tournament. On the other hand, Grêmio secures a major reinforcement who was on the radar of top clubs on the continent, winning the race after weeks of direct negotiations with the “Academia” board.
