In tune with the team, Aníbal Moreno in Racing considerably increased his performance in the rematch against Atlético Nacional, for the rematch of the round of 16 of the Cup liberators. What the Academy midfielder did was return to the level that made him a key player in the team, with a low profile but a lot of efficiency. After the weak production in the first leg against Verde de Medellín, Aníbal returned to being. And in case he was needed, he put to rest the suspicions that some raised about him having played in the first leg with a lack of will due to supposed anger, after the club decided to reject offers from other clubs. The last ones, from Palmeiras of Brazil.
“Great effort from the whole group to get the ticket to the quarterfinals. We continue for more, thanks to all the people for the encouragement and support last night. Let’s go @racingclub”, was the message that the Academy flyer uploaded to his account Instagram (@anibal.moreno32).
Moreno was almost always the Moreno: the vital one in the midfield for deployment, order, recovery and neat distribution as the first pass or later to guide the attacks. It was one more link of the heart and the claw with which the Academy came out to overwhelm Atlético Nacional in the Cylinder. Moreno played it the way it had to be done, as all his teammates understood it: with struggle, ambition, determination, forcefulness and a lot of concentration.
Before Racing – Atlético Nacional, for the Cup, there was discomfort between Moreno and the leadership
From their environment they always made known the discontent of the Academy’s midfielder for the proposals rejected by the leadership. However, the footballer did not move away from the axis and continues fully focused on his work, excited about the Copa Libertadores and waiting to start the League Cup as well as possible.

Around June 2022, Moreno had already received an offer from Germany, more precisely from Hoffenheim. And in the market last summer, one from Belgium (the name of the interested club did not come out), both also bounced. Palmeiras stretched twice, but from Racing they assured that it was never enough to leave the club 7,500,000 dollars for the pass (Racing has 80% of the token and 20% is from Newell’s. “Palmeiras worked hard for for the negotiation to come to fruition. But we could not balance the numbers. We have a great responsibility with all our obligations. We cannot make mistakes,” explained Anderson Barros, the club’s sports director. And thus, he confirmed that Palmeiras was withdrawing from the negotiations.
In the middle, the Academy midfielder was recovering from a tear that sidelined him from several games. For the classic with River on the last date of the Professional League, Moreno was already in physical condition to act. However, Gago saved it, as a precaution, for Racing’s first leg in a 4-2 loss at the hands of Atlético Nacional. In the rematch, Moreno showed that he is involved in the Academy, now far from regretting, with his eyes turned forward. At the end of the year we will have to see what will happen with his future in the next transfer market.
