Nazareno Colombo hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Racing Club can pretend not to have heard.

Racing Club spend $7.7M to raise the standard
This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $7.7M has been paid because Juan-José Perea is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Racing Club rebuffed over Facundo Mura
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Inter Miami CF have kept their man, and Racing Club go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Racing Club say no — this time
The offer from Santiago Wanderers for Tobías Rubio was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Real improvement from Benjamín Borowik at Racing Club
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Benjamín Borowik is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Too dear: Racing Club walk away from Kevin Denis
$200.0K was the most the club would pay and San Martín de Burzaco were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

$7.7M for Juan-José Perea, and Racing Club supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Juan-José Perea from Zurich for $7.7M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Tempers go at Racing Club
Marco Di Cesare was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The formation has left Juan-José Perea behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Racing Club will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
In brief
- The dugout Valentín Carboni is still paying for one afternoon at Racing Club
- Market No place for Matías Kranevitter in the plan
- The dugout Francisco Fraga gets picked when it counts
