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

In a transfer market marked by rumors, external interests, and usual pressures, the management led by Diego Milito chose to set clear boundaries: Facundo Cambeses is a central part of the project and is not for easy sale. 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 caught attention both locally and internationally. The rumors linking him with 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 cut any uncertainty at the root and send a message both internally and externally: the pillars are not negotiated out of urgency. It is no coincidence that the goalkeeper was called up by Lionel Scaloni: the club aims to enhance him, not to part with him quickly.

In the same vein is the situation of Santiago Sosa, another key player who would be offered a contractual improvement. The Academy is trying to consolidate a foundation before considering departures, something that does not always happen in Argentine football.
