Squad28 Jun 2027

Pol Castillo damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market28 Jun 2027

Racing Santander say no — this time

The offer from Málaga for Andrés Martín 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.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Pablo García at Racing Santander

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Pablo García is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Late improvement for André Almeida

At 27 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Squad28 Jun 2027

A falling-out at Racing Santander

Matteo Prati and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

Door shut on Antony

Racing Santander asked and Barcelona said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market28 Jun 2027

Jorge Salinas comes back from a loan that worked

18 appearances and 0 goals away from here, and a player the manager did not have in August. Loans are sent out hoping for exactly this and most of them do not deliver it.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

A loan move for Gael Alonso is in the works

Racing Santander have made the call to Andorra. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

When it matters, Pablo García plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Franco Vives
  • Market The shop window has Íñigo in it
  • Market Aarón linked with a move away

Squad21 Jun 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pol Castillo

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Racing Santander lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market21 Jun 2027

Racing Santander turn down Eintracht Frankfurt for Iván Martín

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Jeanuël Belocian at Racing Santander

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jeanuël Belocian is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Door shut on Manuel Baldé

Racing Santander asked and Valladolid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Julen Agirrezabala has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad21 Jun 2027

A falling-out at Racing Santander

Lucas Romeo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Racing Santander ask about Rodri

A loan enquiry to Cultural Leonesa: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

No hiding place for Mario García

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mario García, and the manager let it.

Market21 Jun 2027

The Julen Agirrezabala question follows Racing Santander around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Julen Agirrezabala’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief
