In a passing market without much movement, the return of Gonzalo Córdoba to Racing generates expectation and that is why the club is evaluating what they will do with the midfielder that emerged from the Tita Mattiussi Estate.
This Tuesday, the kid will return to Argentina after having terminated his contract with the Universidad de Concepción de Chile, a First B team in trans-Andean football. In the first place, it will carry out the days of isolation imposed by the National Government and once this period is over the attacking midfielder will join the Academy. In principle, the idea is for him to train in command of the Gerk Tank in the Reserve. Then, to the extent that his level warrants it, Claudio Úbeda will decide if he adds him to the professional team.
Córdoba, 21, had come to the trans-Andean team as a bet at the beginning of the year and played only two games. In February he made his debut against the Catholic University and, as a starter, scored a goal in the 2-1 defeat (he came out at 24 of the second half). Then, he entered at 35 ‘of the final stage in 2-2 vs. Sports Santa Cruz, last April. As he had been relegated and occupied a place of foreigners, Universidad Concepción had the idea of interrupting the agreement (It ended at the end of this year). That coincided with the player’s idea of returning to Racing to, at least, be able to add minutes of football in the Reserve.
Gonzalo Córdoba, the kid who always promised for his ability and returns to Racing in this market
Gonzalo had become a reinforcement of the Chilean club on November 30, 2020, in the condition of a loan without charge or purchase option for the token that belongs to the Academy. With a link in Racing until June 2023 and an exit clause of 18,000,000 euros net, previously a year had been transferred to Barracas Central (First National). Córdoba was always designated as one of the greatest promises of the Tita estate and became part of the First team, although it never managed to assert itself and did not officially debut in the first team. He barely played a game, but friendly: in 2018, against Temperley, in a summer tournament with Eduardo Coudet as coach.
