Gimnasia in talks with Racing over another Germán Conti loan | OneFootball

The Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata leadership has already begun talks with their counterparts at Racing in an attempt to renew defender Germán Conti’s loan, as he has been on loan at El Lobo since July of last year and his deal will end in June of this year.

The center-back became a starter for Pata Pereyra, who is set to continue as head coach, and the idea is for him to remain part of the squad that was recently eliminated by River in the Apertura quarterfinals.

Conti, 31, went through some physical issues that kept him out of several matches since returning to Argentine football, first to wear Colón’s jersey, then Racing’s, and finally that of the La Plata side.

Even so, the idea is for him to stay at the club and use preseason to reach good form so he can play in as many matches as possible for the La Plata team. Since arriving at Gimnasia, he has made 16 appearances, and before that, at Racing, he had made 18 between January 2024 and July 2025, when he left on loan.

Talks between the two clubs have been moving slowly so far, but they are progressing well, although it is not yet clear whether the new loan will run through December or if the idea is for it to be extended for another year.
