Flamengo go all in for Santiago Sosa, Racing fear losing him | OneFootball

The captain of the Academy, who has a contract until the end of 2027, is listed as one of the targets of the latest Copa Libertadores champion.

Santiago Sosa, the captain of Racing, is wanted by Flamengo for the next transfer window, precisely the rival that won the last Copa Libertadores, in which they eliminated the Academy in the tournament's semifinal.

The Brazilian team has already inquired about the conditions to acquire the 26-year-old midfielder, although so far nothing has arrived at the club and the player, who this Saturday will play the Clausura final against Estudiantes in pursuit of another title with the institution, has a release clause of 12 million euros and a contract until the end of 2027. Additionally, the internal idea is to improve his contract and increase that clause.

Sosa, who joined the Academy in January 2024 and won the Sudamericana and the Recopa, is one of the most beloved by the fans, especially after his quick recovery to play against River following a facial fracture, and several teams are looking to secure his services.

The player, who emerged from the Millonario, has already played 87 matches in the sky blue and white jersey, some as a libero and the vast majority as a central midfielder, in which he scored four goals.

After arriving on loan from Atlanta United of the MLS, the Avellaneda institution purchased the player's pass at the end of last year, acquiring 80% of the rights in exchange for four million dollars in four equal installments, to be paid between February 2025 and September 2026.

If Gustavo Costas' team aims to celebrate another championship next year, they will probably try to retain the midfielder who has become an emblem at Racing and dreams of continuing to write his story.
