Fresh row at Racing: now Santiago Sosa has fallen out with the board | OneFootball

The midfielder and captain of La Academia is dissatisfied and seeks a salary increase.

The 3-0 victory over Atlético Tucumán as a visitor repositioned Racing in the Torneo Apertura after a poor start with three consecutive defeats. However, the atmosphere at La Academia became tense in recent hours due to a conflict involving their captain, Santiago Sosa, with the management over a salary claim.

The central midfielder and libero joined La Academia at the beginning of 2024 on loan from Atlanta United of the MLS, and due to his good performances, the Avellaneda team decided to exercise the purchase option and arranged a new contract until 2028, with an increase in his earnings.

However, throughout 2025, he gained a much more significant role: with the departure of Gabriel Arias, he became one of the captains, which led the player to believe that he should receive a new update. His representation, led by Hernán Berman, maintained contact with the management, headed by Diego Milito, but the negative response was not well received and a conflict arose, which they hope will have a prompt resolution.
