Racing stand firm over Cambeses, setting the tone for their project | OneFootball

In a transfer market filled with rumors, external interests, and the usual pressures, the management led by Diego Milito chose to lay down the law: Facundo Cambeses is a central part of the project and is not for sale easily. The goalkeeper was one of the great revelations of the second half of 2025. With consistency, leadership, and impressive numbers—18 clean sheets in 32 matches—he earned an undisputed spot and drew attention both locally and internationally. The rumors linking him to River and European clubs surprised no one in Avellaneda.

Far from speculating, Racing chose to act. The intention to renew his contract, improve his salary, and raise the release clause (currently at 12 million euros) aims to nip any uncertainty in the bud and send a message both internally and externally: the pillars are not negotiable out of urgency. It’s no coincidence that the goalkeeper was called up by Lionel Scaloni: the club is betting on developing him, not letting him go quickly.

In the same vein is the situation of Santiago Sosa, another key player who will be offered a better contract. La Academia is trying to consolidate a foundation before considering departures, something that doesn’t always happen in Argentine football.
