The Academy is targeting the Xeneize forward to strengthen its attack and is preparing a loan offer with a purchase option
In fact, in recent hours Costas himself contacted Marcelo Delgado, a member of Boca's board, to obtain details about the conditions under which the club would be willing to part with the player. The direct contact highlights the importance that the club in Avellaneda assigns to this possible signing.
Racing will face both domestic competitions and the Copa Sudamericana in 2026, a schedule that requires squad rotation and alternatives. With Elías Torres injured, Vietto's departure confirmed and Balboa performing poorly, all eyes are on the arrival of a new penalty-box striker.
With this outlook, the coming hours will be key, and Racing is preparing to move decisively in a negotiation that could be solved quickly if the parties find common ground.
Since his arrival in mid-2024 for 3.7 million dollars, the former Banfield forward has played 59 matches, in which he has scored 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 3,236 minutes on the field.
Racing has started to make a strong impact in the transfer market. With the departure of Luciano Vietto confirmed, the board and the coaching staff have accelerated the search for a forward to expand the attacking options for a season that is expected to be demanding.
In this context, a name that had already come up in the previous window has resurfaced: Milton Giménez. The Boca forward is one of the main targets for the Academia coach, and his situation at Xeneize, where some fans oppose him, could facilitate a possible departure if a convincing offer arrives.
According to various sources, Racing plans to submit a loan offer with a purchase option for the 29-year-old forward, who joined Boca in mid-2024 from Banfield and has a contract in force until December 31, 2027. The interest is concrete and is not limited only to informal inquiries.
