Martirena dropped from Tucumán trip after Racing reject Gremio bid | OneFootball

Gastón Martirena was not part of the Racing delegation that traveled to Tucumán to face Atlético Tucumán, and his absence could lead to a sanction. The management is considering applying a fine after the defender decided not to travel following the club's rejection of an offer from Gremio.

The Brazilian team had made a proposal to take the Uruguayan on loan without a purchase option. Racing dismissed the negotiation, and this decision upset the player, who chose not to join the squad led by Gustavo Costas.

The situation arises just days before the transfer window closes, scheduled for March 10, and opens a new internal conflict within the team. In Avellaneda, they are now analyzing whether the player will be sanctioned and if he will be considered for the match on Tuesday against Sarmiento, in Junín.

Martirena's current situation has changed in recent weeks. After starting the tournament as a starter, he lost his position following the arrival of Ezequiel Cannavo, who has established himself as the right-back since the fourth match.

In the current Apertura Tournament, the Uruguayan played two matches and went from being the only option in the position to falling behind in the consideration of the coaching staff. Given this scenario, he saw the possibility of continuing his career in Brazilian football favorably, an option that ultimately did not materialize.
