San Lorenzo's plan B: Funes Mori on the shortlist as Racing wait goes on | OneFootball

El Ciclón is looking for a center back after Gastón Hernández’s injury. While awaiting Racing’s response, it has already made inquiries about the Estudiantes defender.

San Lorenzo continues its search for a central defender and still has Agustín García Basso as its top priority. However, given the lack of a decision from Racing Club, Boedo has already activated an alternative: Ramiro Funes Mori.

The club’s first target is Racing’s center back, for whom it submitted a loan offer until the end of the year with a fee of $150,000 and a purchase option of $700,000. Even so, in Avellaneda they are maintaining their stance of not letting the player go.

While waiting for a response, San Lorenzo included García Basso on its registered squad list for the Copa Sudamericana, a tournament that will begin in the coming days. At the same time, it also added Funes Mori among the options.

The Estudiantes de La Plata defender has not played any minutes so far in the Torneo Apertura, a situation that has opened the door to a departure. From the La Plata club, they would not look unfavorably on a negotiation, in a context where the player has a high salary.

For now, there has been no formal offer for the former River Plate player, but his name appears as a concrete alternative if the move for García Basso does not go through. A decision will be made in the coming hours.
