“He is a player that interests Gago.” The confirmation to this portal was provided by an important leader of the Academy and this ratifies what until a few days ago was only a rumor: in this transfer market, as one of its options as a possible reinforcement, Racing points to Johan Carbonero, a Colombian winger of Gymnastics La Plata. Although apparently there are still no advanced negotiations between the parties, they could be activated from one moment to another. For now, the Wolf is willing to part with the 22-year-old player.
According to what they acknowledged to RdA, the La Plata club likes Juan José Cáceres, a defender who is very relegated in Racing. Therefore, it is not ruled out that in Avellaneda they try to include him in the negotiation for Carbonero, in part payment. After its good production in the Tripero in the second part of 2021, Gimnasia executed the purchase option that Once Caldas de Colombia had set for it. But the Wolf did not pay the total of the 2,200,000 dollars of the option, but a part. In this way, now you need to sell the footballer to pay off that debt, according to the portal cielosports.com. This same medium reported that from the representation of the coffee grower they admitted that Gago claims yes or yes to Carbonero on his campus.
Johan Carbonero, in Racing’s sights in this market, comes from a good level
The striker maintained his good level in this semester of 2022 and Pintita noticed him, as well as Charles Rotondi. For this last extreme, Defense and Justice would request about 5,000,000 dollars. Carbonero has played 56 games in Gimnasia, with 11 goals. For Gago, the number one priority in this market is to add another winger, in addition to retaining Javier Correa, whose loan with the Academy expires on June 30: the club is in full negotiations with Santos Laguna from Mexico. The technician may also ask for a first central marker and perhaps a steering wheel.
Meanwhile, many were surprised that Racing noticed a footballer who is prosecuted after a hotel receptionist denounced him, on November 6, 2020, for harassment and attempted abuse during the winger’s accommodation in a hotel during his first days in the country.
