Racing is fully focused on the final of the Torneo Clausura against Estudiantes. However, in recent hours, a concern has arisen that has not gone unnoticed within the club. Santiago Sosa, captain and a key player for Gustavo Costas, has become one of Flamengo's main targets for the upcoming transfer window.
The interest comes at a sensitive time, right after the Carioca team eliminated La Academia in the semifinals on their way to the Copa Libertadores title. Despite that, from Brazil, they have already made initial inquiries to learn about the conditions of the 26-year-old midfielder, although there have not been any formal advances yet.
La Academia's position is clear: Sosa is not for sale, and only an offer that meets the release clause (set at 12 million euros) could take the player away from Avellaneda. Club officials are even considering improving his contract, which expires at the end of 2027, and raising that clause due to the risk of losing him.
Sosa solo se iría de Racing si pagan su cláusula de rescisión
The former River player initially arrived on loan from Atlanta United, but Racing decided to purchase 80% of his rights at the end of last year for four million dollars, payable in installments until September 2026. Since then, his value has increased and his name has started to appear on the radar of several foreign clubs, including a Flamengo that is experiencing a period of economic strength after winning its fourth Libertadores and advancing in the Intercontinental Cup.
The midfielder's presence has become decisive since his arrival in January 2024. Not only has he won theSudamericana and the Recopa, but he also earned the respect of the fans for actions that went beyond football, such as his return to the field against Millonario just days after suffering a facial fracture. That commitment, combined with solid performances as a central midfielder and also as a sweeper, has positioned him as one of the leaders of the squad.
