Nardoni's departure is a hard blow for Racing, which is experiencing a turbulent start to the year with three consecutive defeats. The midfielder was a protagonist in the club's victories in the 2024 Copa Sudamericana and the 2025 Recopa.

Nardoni's Career

Revealed by Unión de Santa Fe, Nardoni played 126 matches for Racing and established himself as one of the best midfielders in Argentine football. His versatility allows him to play both in defense and in transitioning the ball, characteristics that suit Grêmio's profile. The club from Rio Grande do Sul, three-time Libertadores champion, is betting on the young talent to elevate the competitive level of the squad in national and continental competitions this year.

With the agreement, Grêmio beats the competition and secures a significant replacement for the central sector. Nardoni arrives with the status of a starter and ready to adapt to Brazilian football, bringing with him the experience of having recently lifted three international trophies. The expectation is that the midfielder will present himself in the coming days for medical exams and contract signing, becoming one of the most expensive signings in the recent history of the Tricolor.
