Santiago Sosa move to Vasco stalled, Racing ‘to pass on’ 25% to Atlanta United | OneFootball

According to PaponaColina, Racing of Avellaneda must pass on 25% of the total fee to Atlanta United, which is delaying Vasco’s move for Santiago Sosa.

Vasco’s bid is based on a gross valuation that does not satisfy Racing because of the mandatory deduction. The Argentines want to raise the final price to protect their net profit. Talks have not broken down.

Vasco have kept an offer around US$ seven million, about R$ 39 million, for the midfielder’s economic rights. The football department is wary of breaching the R$ 100 million annual plan approved by Marcos Lamacchia. Alternatives are being monitored.

Racing’s slow pace prompted the Rio club to speak with River Plate about Colombian Kevin Castaño, who played at the 2026 World Cup. He is viewed as plan B if the Argentine deal falls through. The staff want added steel for Pedro Emanuel.

Immediate constraints mean loans with options to buy are being explored, as the ownership transition involving 777 Partners and a new investor is still undergoing legal validation. The hierarchy aim to recruit up to five experienced players ready to start.

Vasco hope to speed up registrations before a decisive run of fixtures. The window is seen as pivotal to hauling the team out of the Campeonato Brasileiro relegation zone.
