By Tiago Salazar

The coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda has given the green light for the signing of the defender Marco Di Cesare from Racing, Argentina. The 24-year-old player was offered to Santos.

Before moving forward with the negotiation, the management submitted the name to the coach, who analyzed the athlete and approved his arrival. Now, as reported by Gazeta Esportiva, the club is preparing a proposal for Racing, which has a contract with the defender until the end of 2027.

Marco Di Cesare has been with Racing since 2024. In the current season, he participated in three of the four matches played by the club, two of them as a starter. In total, he has 71 appearances for the Argentine team, with two goals and one assist.

Before playing for Racing, the defender wore the jersey of Argentinos Juniors, where he accumulated 60 matches in his professional career.

Concerning Sector

The defense is one of the major issues Vojvoda has to address at the start of this year. Santos has already conceded 12 goals in nine matches. That is an average of 1.3 goals per game. The club has only kept a clean sheet in one match this year, in a 0-0 draw with Red Bull Bragantino at Neo Química Arena.

Moreover, of the four players available for the position, two are currently in the Medical Department. Adonis Frías has a muscle injury in his right calf, and João Basso has been diagnosed with edema in his right calf. The remaining players are Luan Peres and Zé Ivaldo.
