Bringing back the club’s prodigal sons is Diego Milito’s great mission. And also Gustavo Costas’s. The Racing coach dreams of seeing Rodrigo De Paul and Lautaro Martínez wear the sky blue and white jersey again, although he knows it’s complicated.

One is in the United States, but he just arrived. Inter Miami acquired “Motorcito” in the middle of the year after his stint at Atlético de Madrid, while “El Toro” is at Inter Milan, where he is an undisputed idol and is still seeking to win the Champions League.

Despite the current situations of these players who were developed at the Tita Mattiussi Training Ground, whenever he can, Costas sends them a message to let them know he wants them in the squad and to achieve glory together. But he doesn’t just do this privately—he also makes it public.

“De Paul has to come now, he knows it. I’ve already told him, and Lautaro too. Don’t play dumb, that’s it, the time has come when we need you,” said the Racing coach on ESPN, who, since his return to the club, has won two international titles. But now he’s aiming for more and wants them to leave their clubs so that, in the near future, they can be the team’s leaders. Will he convince them?
