After 8 matches, Marcos Rojo could leave Racing in this transfer window | OneFootball

The arrival of Marcos Rojo at Racing, in the middle of last year, caused quite a stir. Mainly because he was out of practice after being sidelined at Boca. But also because the fans considered him a problematic player, with physical issues and a very high salary.

As time went by, he was put under scrutiny: not only was he blamed for Flamengo's goal in the first semifinal of the last Copa Libertadores, but he was also criticized for the elbow that ended up fracturing Santiago Sosa, just moments after the Carioca goal.

Although he performed well in the 8 matches he played wearing the Academia jersey, his future might be outside Avellaneda. In recent hours, the La Plata newspaper El Día revealed that Estudiantes has been in contact with Rojo to bring him in during this transfer window.

"The financial aspect wouldn't be an obstacle, the talks have taken place, and various sources claim they have progressed," revealed the cited source. The one who would oppose the player's departure is Gustavo Costas.

The Racing coach considers him crucial for pursuing the objectives planned for this year, even though the current starting defender is Agustín García Basso. However, the experience and stature of the player from La Plata position him well within the squad.
