Racing set to make first offer to Boca for Milton Giménez in 2026 | OneFootball

After the departure of Luciano Vietto, who will not be considered and will leave with the pass in his possession, Gustavo Costas and the management of Racing entered the transfer market in search of a center forward who can compete for a spot with Maravilla Martínez and Adrián Balboa.

Just like in the last transfer window, one of the main targets for the Academy's coach is Milton Giménez, the forward from Boca who is resisted by his team's fans, which could facilitate a possible exit in case of a tempting offer.

According to Bolavip, Racing will make a loan offer with a purchase option to acquire the 29-year-old player who joined the club in mid-2024 from Banfield and has a contract with the Ribera team until December 31, 2027.

Such is the interest of the Academy in acquiring Giménez that hours ago Gustavo Costas himself contacted Marcelo Delgado, a member of Boca's management, to inquire about the conditions the club has for parting with the player.

Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Racing will compete in both national competitions and the Copa Conmebol Sudamericana, so Costas wants to strengthen the forward line. With Elías Torres injured, Vietto leaving, and a low-performing Balboa, all focus is on Milton Giménez.

Throughout the last season at Boca, the forward started strong but then declined. Being a substitute for Cavani and Merentiel, he had interesting entries where he scored goals, but once he secured a starting position, he lost his scoring touch, which put him in the spotlight of fans' criticism.

As things stand, there could be progress in the negotiation in the coming days, and the Academy will go all out to acquire the forward. It is worth noting that Boca paid 3.7 million dollars for him, so they will want to recover a percentage of the investment they made.

Milton Giménez's numbers at Boca

Since his arrival at Xeneize, the 29-year-old forward has played a total of 59 matches, scoring 17 goals and providing 5 assists. Additionally, he received 11 yellow cards and was sent off once in 3236 minutes on the field.
