The current tense relationship between River and Racing adds a new chapter following the recent transfer of Maximiliano Salas. Marcelo Gallardo contacted Adrián "Maravilla" Martínez directly to express his interest in signing him as a reinforcement. However, Avellaneda replied quickly: they moved forward with renewing the forward's contract to retain him.
According to various sources, the president of Academia, Diego Milito, has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the player to extend his contract until December 2028. The new contract would include a salary increase that would make Martínez the highest-paid player on the squad, as well as a significant increase in the release clause, which would become the highest in the club.
Given this situation, the management's intention is to secure one of the key figures of Gustavo Costas's team, who supported the decision and emphasized that the forward feels comfortable and committed to the project.
