It was an option as a reinforcement for Racing but Costas rejected it. However, and despite the pressing need in that sector of the playing field, Gustavo Costas decided to lower his thumb. The coach knows something about what that position is and also about wearing the light blue and white. Therefore, although he understands that it is decisive to find someone in that area, he does not expect a player to arrive who does not convince him. Of course, time is ticking and the date of the League Cup debut against Unión de Santa Fe in El Cilindro is approaching. That sets off alarm bells.
The main objective at this time in the Academy’s transfer market is to hire a central marker. Preferably left-handed. With Leo Sigali and Nazareno Colombo in the club (both right-handed) and without any other variant, the coach aims for someone to arrive from the left sector. In fact, in his ideal he hopes for three more players. Two center backs and a left back. Although I would also accept the arrival of a left-footed player who can play as a six and three (as Gonzalo Piovi did) and another central marker regardless of the profile.
Of course, analyze and think about each option in detail. The first names that he left to Víctor Blanco no longer run because, for different reasons, they ended up being dropped. And in the last hours the leadership was offered Federico Rasmussen. After thinking about it, watching some videos and following its characteristics, the coach made a decision. According to what was confided to this portal from the technician’s environment, Gustavo Costas gave Rasmussen a thumbs up, who was a possible reinforcement for his Racing team. It doesn’t come…
Who was this possible Racing reinforcement that Costa rejected?
In the midst of the Academy’s need in this transfer market, Rasmussen’s name appeared on the scene. At least for the DT to think about it and analyze it. But who is this player? Beyond the fact that he does not have a past full of important clubs or that they wear flashes, what he could seduce the most was his modernity. 2023 was the best year of his career. The left center back was a starter throughout last year at Godoy Cruz. A fixture for a team that was very consistent and qualified for the Copa Libertadores for being one of the best placed in the annual table. The left-hander is 31 years old and is 1.91 meters tall. Noted for his aerial game and physical rigor.
Racing reinforcement whose thumb was lowered by Costas.
Beyond this great year, Costas’ decision was to reject the chance of this reinforcement arriving at Racing. And he intends for other names to arrive in this sector. He knew that Rasmussen had already stood out in 2022 in Sarmiento, a campaign that made him move to Tomba a year later. In addition, the defender, who has Danish nationality, played in the Inferiores in Lanús and went on to play in the Under 17 World Cup in 2009. Most of his career took place in Ascenso and he also had a spell with Atlante in Mexico.
